Should I join the Air Force or train? Can I train in Mixed martial arts and get a degree in Engineering?

Mixed Martial Arts
alonzo72487 asked:


I’ve been to a technical college, but that wasn’t challenging in terms of math and science. I wanted to do Engineering, but I don’t think I would have enough money for it and enough time for MMA. I am good at martial arts. I’ve been doing it since I was little. I’m also good at math and science. I guess I’m asking if I should train to become a good fighter, or join the Air Force so I can become an Engineer. If I joined could I train to become a good fighter. I love martial arts, but I don’t want to go without an education.

You might want to talk the the AirForce about ROTC. I know at Purdue University there was a ROTC program. That way you would be in the Air Force and in college at the same time.

If you get your education now and train in your spare time, you’ll always have the education already paid for and can fall back on it if MMA doesn’t work out for whatever reason.
If you do MMA now and it doesn’t work out and you have to go back to school to get a decent job…how will you work full time to pay for school and have time for school?
Don’t get me wrong, it can be done either way you go, people do it all the time. You just have to decide what your priorities are and what will set you up best for your future.
Being an adult sucks sometimes.

You understand that the military is not a college fund. You can continue your training in martial arts while in the service and get your education along with serving your nation. The needs of the mission come first and foremost. keep this in mind.

you can do both..

You also can join the Reserve in Civil Engineering. You will get the training you need, and other educational benefits. You will also have plenty of time to pursue your other passions.

Good luck to you!
