The military lifestyle can be a confusing place for a spouse. American culture tends to expect everyone to have a career, but with frequent moves and deployments, starting or finishing college can be a real challenge, much less getting a job.
But chasing education is probably one of the best things spouses can try to do to increase employment chances, says one spouse who recently started work on her degree. Shelly Paszkowski is a mother of four and the spouse of a wounded warrior. She recently won a scholarship to work on her degree online and talks in our video today about why others should do the same.

Second yay here!!!
I just finished my first year of medical school. I am so glad I have a career so that I can rely on myself if need be, or just a plan for after retirement.
Hi all! I wanted to add to this article. One of the greatest incentives that the military has to offer for Military Spouses is MyCAA. The MyCAA grant is a $4000 DOD benefit to put towards your educational goals. This grant allows you to study, train and prepare for portable careers that go where you go. You can earn a portable career with Meditec in the Medical, Paralegal, Business or Real Estate field in as little as 4 months. Contact me to learn how :) kdjernigan@gmail.com
