Going Back to School

Post Reply New Topic

So long story short, I have a Bachelor's in Business, but a low GPA. If I decided to go for my Masters, I will need to get my GPA up. I have been in the same industry for 6 years but have actually been making less in the past 2 (below 70k). I have been applying to jobs over the past 2 years, but it seems like nothing comes of it. I am also thinking of joining OCS with the navy, but I am undiagnosed and have been doing better with depression and anxiety due to some supplements. I know it is a desperate move on my part, but it seems like no one in the civilian world wants to help (somewhat understandable), but it would be nice to have something to have your back. So by going back I hope to get into OCS and then go for my masters at a better school.

I'm pretty sure a history of taking antidepressants will doom your chances of entering OCS. My godson was rejected by the Navy, even though he was a top student, an Eagle Scout, and a member of the state rugby team, because he had taken antidepressants for a week when his father was wrongfully arrested and accused of a horrible crime (charges later dropped).

I did speak to someone about that and I think it is 2 or so years must pass before they allow it. I plan to speak with a recruiter out of state as the one here seems grumpy. I am trying to think of plan B but my other plan Bs seemed nuked (tech and finance). I have also considered the maritime industry, but I would still need to go back to school either way. I feel like my goals that I had before (go to a good school, like top 10) went from nice to have to need to have just to survive in this market along with my autism making it harder to interview.
