      FREE COLLEGE MONEY-Alternatives to military
      You Can Stay Free of the Military and Still Find...All The Money
      You want to go to college. Or you want job training. Perhaps you =
want to travel. You have a sincere desire to serve your community and =
your country, to make the world a better place. Military recruiters are =
trying to take advantage of those desires to convince you to enlist. In =
fact, you're far more likely to move ahead in your life by seeking out =
civilian op****tunities -- and you won't have to join a violent =
institution to get there.

      MONEY FOR COLLEGE
      Financing College Without Joining the Military

        a.. Luckily, alternative ways to finance college exist. We help =
you sort out the (often confusing) financial aid process to find the =
money you need.=20
      Joining the Military is Hazardous to Your Education

        a.. Military recruiters will promise "money for college," but =
it's neither free nor automatic: only 35 percent of those who sign up =
receive any college money. Why?=20
      JOB SKILLS TRAINING
      Military training, even in electronics or computers, is largely =
for highly specialized military uses: on average, veterans earn less =
than non-veterans, and a special federal job training program for =
veterans has over 50,000 on the waiting list.

      For real job training options, investigate your local community =
college: affordable two-year programs can result in immediate, well paid =
employment in a diverse range of fields, such as computer repair, =
graphic design, or medical technology. Explore intern****ps with local =
employers, from newspapers to battered womens shelters to medical =
technology; apprentice****ps with trade unions; and school-to-work =
agencies like Ready-to-Work and the Private Industry Council, who can =
match your interests to appropriate private employers -- and pay you =
while you're learning skills to last a lifetime.

      You can look for intern****ps at Rising Star Intern****ps. Inroads =
specializes in intern****ps for youth-of-color. Or you may be interested =
in service learning op****tunities.

      To find career advice and referrals, or if you're looking for job =
training or jobs, try JobWeb!. Another meta-site that lists jobs =
available around the country and has tons of links to other valuable job =
search services on the web is JobNet. A third free job search service, =
4Work, lets you search for jobs, intern****ps, part-time jobs, and =
volunteer op****tunities. Once you sign up with 4Work, they will email =
you when jobs matching your criteria get listed. Many teenagers, =
twentysomethings, and the young-at-heart find summer employment as camp =
counselors, and the CampPage site lists op****tunities nationwide.

      TRAVEL, ADVENTURE AND DISCIPLINE
      If you want to meet people far from home, you can do it without =
first being trained to dehumanize them. In addition to the Peace Corps, =
there are many organizations where the work is hard and the challenges =
many - from Citizen Action to the Red Cross to Peace Brigades =
International. Local groups that you're impressed by often have national =
and international contacts.

      Check out our links to service learning sites.

      If you're looking for adventure, you can find it -- without having =
to kill anyone.

      Don't be taken in by military recruiters' hype.
      You don't have to go to boot camp, give up your civil rights, and =
train to fight wars in order to have a future.
