๐ ๐๐๐ต:I donโt need to research my career field as long as I have an education in that field.
๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐: While you donโt have to research your dream job before choosing a program, itโs a good idea to analyze the job market before committing to an education program. Just because you have a degree doesnโt mean you are guaranteed a job.

Before deciding on a college or education program, check out your Joint Services Transcript (JST).

Beginning today, Thursday, 19 Jan 2023, TA stoppers will be activated in ArmyIgnitED for pending suspense date on enrollment, incomplete grades, and overdue grades. Contact your State Education office with any other questions regarding TA requests.
