Advice Needed , what should I do for the next three years ?

[BigFoot04]

If this isn't the place then just remove it , cheers .

I'm 17 currently In college ( England ) and doing engineering as a backup option because I want to go into the Military.

However I need braces and probably won't get them until I'm 18 , for the treatment I need it says maximum of 3 years.

I was planning to go in straight after college but that won't be the case now , what should I do for the three possible years after college as uni debts don't looks nice for what I wanna do?

Thanks In advance.

If it helps I could afford to go private , my family haven't got alot but I've been working my arse off saving up for my future and could afford it , is it worth it for cutting down the time ?

Not sure how things work in the UK.

If you were in the US I would say def go into the military for the GI bill so you could get a free education out of it. Otherwise I don't think paying for university is worthwhile in this day and age.

Engineering is one of the few courses of study that is actually worth paying for, so you're doing that much right.

When in doubt, go to work. So I suppose the question is what work can you do now that will net you the most optimized skills.

Do engineering at Uni. Best degree you can have is STEM. I’m also in the USA I know the military actively recruits engineering grads to become officers. Might be worth looking into.
