I agree... No one is saying be a leather neck, you can learn a TON of stuff in our Armed Forces which you can bring back and use in the "Real" world.

why dont u ask the manaegment team at costco about their management program. then instead of standing around selling stuff, u can motivate others to sell stuff and reap teh rewards of meeting the sales targets.
im sure a large organisation such as costco would promote within, so if u r sales staff, the next logical step would be sales manager, or dept manager. then perhaps store, then maybe state manager, or purchasing manager, etc. the chain of command moves on.
try some management courses, etc. try uni part time.
the opportunity is there, take it
Oh I know I could move up in Costco VERY easily! I've been with the company for 8 years now and could have been a manager by now if I wanted to. I just really don't think it's for me though! I would be great money and it's a great company to work for but I just really have no desire to be a retail manager. As far as joining the military, no way in hell! I like to refer to myself as a before and after kinda of guy. I love starting with something that looks like crap and have a beautiful finished product at the end.

But what exactly will I be doing if I was an accountant? Would I just be sitting in front of an adding machine all day? Ha!

I took accounting back in HS. Obviously it is not like the real thing, but that class was the most BORING class in my entire life. I rather shoot myself then write the same crap over and over in the different ledgers, accounts, and whatever else there is. You get paid well for it but for me I rather not take a job that pays well yet promots suicide due to bordem

accounting........ not sure if its fun though, not to many accounting classes I took that I liked in college and grad school. Pharmacy is good $ but again very boring and not to exciting.

Did you go to college? If not, go to college get your degree, then go to grad school for a masters. With all the business classes you take it will def give you ideas to many career paths and out of of school with an MBA you will be heavily marketable and recruited.
I almost finished my AA, but left before i got it done.
