With a BS in Electrical Engineering, you can work for Meridian and the starting pay is $65,000 a year and within two years you will top the $100,000.
Uncle Sam can't touch that. The choice is yours.
You can retire in Ten years. Think about it.
And all you have to do is go around the United States with a Lap top and they fly you all expenses paid and program Computers. It takes about 30 minutes on the small job to 2 hours to complete the work.
You get to rent any car you want and live in any Hotel you want regardless of cost and you draw $175.00 a day for food weather you eat that much or not. You can save a $1,000.00 per week in addition to your salary. You just can't beat it. I have a BS in Electronics and I am retired now. Trust me, look into it before making any decision towards military careers:)

Depends on what Community you are looking to Commission into. Intelligence or Information Warfare, for instance.. you need a butt ton of experience if you want a shot as a civilian. SWO, not so much. Aviation of course has extremely high physical standards(not to mention a very strict age limit)
Your degree is a competetive one, as long as you have a 3.5 or better GPA and established leadership skills, as well as extracurricular activities. The Navy needs well rounded Leaders and managers.
But the Reserves need less over all than AD does.. you may actually have a better shot at Commissioning AD than as a Reservist.

If you hold a 4 year degree from a accredited school in any engineering field the military needs you. If you are truly a licensed electrical engineer you would most likely go right into OCS as those skills are highly sought. Depending on many factors you would be given more options than others on what field you want to start in.

OCS because you are immediately considered an officer and need not pass through enlistment.
