[QUOTE="FredNOk, post: 2912033, member: 35627"] The job market in OK isn't pleasant. When oil hits the bottom, lots of jobs go bye bye. Use your GI bill and get a degree in something marketable, like law enforcement or something in the medical field. There will always be criminals and sick people. I've seen all kinds of jobs fall out in Southern OK for the last 20 years because of the oil market. You can take a law enforcement degree to just about any state and get a job, except OK. Small town police office and County offices tell you you're overqualified for a position unless you live and work in either OKC or Tulsa. That has been the experience of a friend of mine who has a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and tried to get hired with Stephens, Comanche, or Jefferson county or the respective police stations in those counties. Not saying that you would have the same experience, but it could happen. I'm sure his age is a factor now more than it was 13 years ago when he started looking. I'm guessing nobody wants 50 year old on the force these days. You are young, so you might have a better chance. [/QUOTE]
