YTNUKLR,

Todd is right on the money. Get out and explore the world.

When I graduated from college I had many other opportunities than the Navy, lots.

But the advice from my Father still rings true: "It's your life..."

I felt the best way to shortcut seeing the world was flying for the Navy. I don't recommend it for you, but, it was my life.

Dude, get out there.

You might learn interesting things and meet interesting people, but I think you need a taste of the real world.

Do you speak any other languages? If not, learn them. In fact, if I were in your shoes I would to go China and teach english (while learning Mandarin). You won't get rich, but you'll learn the language and the culture, and broaden your horizons immensely.

If I were 22 though, I'd go overseas and teach english and learn Mandarin. They you'll have some serious opportunities.
