I just went through stage 1 for my MACI, but a lot of what I’m reading here on Reddit seems up and down.
I have a full fissure right underneath the knee cap. It absolutely screwed with my ability to be athletic, but the MACI success rate seems positive. Wonder if anyone had a positive experience after the 12 months, but also where were you at 6 months?
Im thinking about Maritime academy after community college, I’ve grown up sailing and have always had a general interest in that life. I’ve also worked jobs in the oil field (Texas) so I’m no stranger to working in that type of environment. I think it could give me some great life skills, while also getting into a field thats Ai proof.
My question for the community, whats it like working in the industry currently? Do people have a hard time looking for work and do you feel stable?
I know there are two options for school, the regiment program and the BA program. Regiment seems to make the most sense but how did you guys afford it, as it seems impossible to hold a full time job while doing that. It also seems like it helps you get a job afterwards, is that true?
Has anyone just gone the normal degree route? How was your experience and was it tough to get work?
Also, what are your coworkers like? I imagine a lot of veterans from the navy go into the industry but I imagine a bunch who aren’t veterans. I remember someone telling me they have a name for people who didn’t serve, so I’m curious about the culture.
