<human>: When I graduated High School I did not know what to study. My family had no money saved and I didn't want to take out loans and have debt for something I wasn't sure of. I was also uneducated on scholarships, grants, etc and how to apply for them. A lot of factors led me to not pursue higher education so I joined the military.

After a few years in and a deployment I'm 23 and at a place where I can start college. I know online for-profit programs are not optimal. But I am interested in International Relations and American Military University(AMU) offers this course as a bachelors. 

I have multiple goals/plans when for I decide to get out of the military. With my experience/education I'd like to find a government job, work for a non-profit, or teach english in a foreign country(something I REALLY would like to do as a career).

I want to study IR because it's something I'm interested in. AMU probably isn't the optimal choice but its the best option I have right now. I'm 23 and would like to have a degree before 30. Any advice would be appreciated.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
