What is a good college/university to go to for this career?

My husband is in the army and plans to make it his career. He has given me an opportunity to go to school?

• My husband Has given me the opportunity to go to school and not have to work. I need some advice preferably from military wives, husbands or anyone that has been in the military for a long time. I am interested in going to school to be a ultra sound tech or x-ray tech but I don't think its realistic anymore. No schools offer that program in my area and his MOS is changing so when he comes back from deployment we will be moving to a striker unit. I want to find a portable career but I don't know what is portable in the army/military. I want a career working with the army/military so every PCS I could transfer my job to our new post. I want to make good money I want to do more then just work at aafes or the commissary. I want to help families and soldiers.I want my husband to be proud of me as i am of him. What kind of degree should I go for? What careers are out there for civilians to work for the military? What online school will get me headed to this career? I will research any advice anyone has to offer. And no disrespect to anyone who works at the aafes or commissary if I was called in for an interview I would go :) Im just looking for something meaningful for myself. If you knew then what you know now and could do it all over again what would it be?

• Answer:

  I think you should check with your local ACS office now or whenever you get to your new duty station. They could give you iformation about jobs and schools available in your area. You still have a good chance of getting access to many schools around your area when you PCS. He is going to a stryker brigade so chances are he will be deployed more often although that doesnt mean you will be living under a rock on a deserted island! So you will have the opportunity for schooling. You are right about some medical specialty jobs being hard to get on-base. As you could imagine there are only a few slots for those kind of jobs and you need to get lucky and get there when someone is leaving to fill one of them. A few degrees that are good to have is atleast an Associate's or Bachelor's in Human Resources, Psychology, Child Development. The best thing is to atleast get your "foot in the door" and obtian your a "GS level" job, this will make it easier to transfer when you PCS. Hope this helps a little bit.
