Hey guys,

Since I am in the military I have the opportunity to get paid for attend college, I plan on finishing school. Yes, they pay for my school as well as cut me a check every month. I know going to college is a big debate on this forum but I have decided to go anyways, regardless of pursuing the Fastlane business theory. I have chosen to do this because of whatever business venture I will pursue I still want to become an Officer in the Air National Guard, as this has been a dream of my since a child. To become and officer requires a four year degree...

Furthermore, I am super indecisive about a college major and figured I'd turn to the great minds of this forum for some assistance. I will be finishing school online to maximize my time and profit. I'll be doing this through the UNC school system, not some crap online school.

My goal is to major in something that will assist me in my Fastlane pursuits as well as obtain an Officer slot. Below is a list of possible majors.

BSBA Business Admin and Law
BSBA Finance
BSBA Management
BABA Economics
Management Information Systems
Supply Chain Management
Some form of Technical Management through Embry Riddle
Information Assurance
Intelligence

Your thoughts and recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
