I worked as a car rental agent while I was in college. It was a desk job with flexible hours. The pay was good, and I got a commission for selling the optional insurance. I worked at the airport, and at the downtown office. Advancement was good, with regular raises. Met lots of interesting people, like the diamond merchant who wanted to use cash for a security deposit, and showed me a handful of beautiful diamonds. I got to deadhead a few cars – if we got a car from another city, and they had one or more of ours, we would write up a zero dollar contract and drive for free to the other city to make an exchange. We also got first dibs on any cars that were available for sale.
Don’t go in the military without visiting an officer recruiter first. Don’t go to an enlisted recruiter unless you are really interested, and none of the officer recruiters from any branch of the service want you. You may want to look at being a supply officer, or some other administrative position, rather than a regular (Navy ‘line’) officer.
You should give up reading adventure novels. They have polluted your mind with false stories of the drama and nobility of Army Rangers and Navy Seals. Basically, these people are in the business of killing. Killing humans. Killing humans as efficiently as possible. In the process, they often get killed themselves. It’s rarely pretty, often uncomfortable, and the exciting parts you’re hoping for will make you wet your pants.
Do you qualify for unemployment? If so, you can skate and party for a while before being forced back to work.
