I have wanted to join the Coast Guard since I graduated HighSchool, I had a couple friends that joined it. But I was persuaded to go to college instead. Now that I'm almost done with my degree I still want to join the Coast Guard, is it too late at 23?

I don't think so but why don't you contact the US Coast Guard itself to find out at http://www.uscg.mil/
Good Luck!!!

NO, it is NOT too late. As a matter of fact you are most likely better off. I say this as FINISH your college first. Once you are finished with college, you could actually join the Coast Guard as an officer. You'll be ahead of the game so to speak. Good Luck. BUT either way you can join as an enlisted man/woman and have a great career. MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I'd join in a heart beat as an officer. Excellent pay and benefits. Starting pay $2469 a month, but you'll also get about an extra $900 for housing depending on where you live and an extra $260 for food. You can retire after twenty years and collect half pay until you die. Free Medical. You just cant beat it. Just think you can boss around those suckers in the coast guard that didn't go to college.
