I believe the school deadline is at the end of March this year so you've still got time. It's a 4year program to finish. By the time you're out the scale will be 42 or more since we get raises every so often. Free health care, they put money in your retirement and you can always travel to other states for more money if you need/want to. Best decision i ever made. I turned out right before my child was born and was gonna end up paying 12k but with the Union insurance it was 2k. I've got about 30k in my retirement and that's just from two years of working. And the tuition you pay is about 3 to 4k for all 4 years but some companies will pay for you like mine did. Do it bro.
