VTIPing to work near Chicago (Or other options?)
13A here currently at roughly the halfway point of my LT time. Tried combat arms, while I can kick it its not for me. The biggest thing for me is getting a job near Chicago, so I can be closer to family and friends. Of the major bases I know Knox and Campbell are possible choices. My plan A is to VTIP into Finance as I have a degree in it and have decent OERs. Of course the job market may just not allow for that (which I'm tracking is opening in November). Looking for plan B, C, etc.
What are some other options for me to get out of FA and do something near Chicago? I'm pretty open, I just don't know the details of these other paths. Just looking for viable ideas so anything is welcome. If I'm truly SOL I'll end up putting in my REFRAD as I'm not trying to do FA beyond my initial contract.
