4. People want to recruit/hire military spouses
I know often military spouses feel like they get lost in the shuffle of PCS moves and deployments, and their careers and education has to take a back burner to their spouse’s military track. But there is a benefit to being a military spouse in this aspect too! There are programs like MyCAA that offer grants and scholarships for military spouses. Not only that, some colleges are willing to give military dependents tuition as discounted rates just because they want to support military families in any way they can. (start with these Military Spouse Friendly Schools)
Not on the education track? That’s ok! There are programs for the budding entrepreneur too! The Small Business Association has a Patriot Loan program to help veterans (and spouses) get business loans more easily. So if there is something you have your heart set on doing, don’t let the military tell you it’s impossible!
