I'm a Senior in High School in California.
I'm not sure what i want to do with my life exactly, but i'm in the DEP with the Marines (Delayed Entry Program), and the Military is always an option.
I dont know how great of an option for you it is since you do have a wife, and that would be tough, and especcialy if you have children.
But while attending school, and attending PT (Physical Training) with my fellow Marines in the Delayed Entry Program, i also work at McDonalds, which isnt that great... but i get lots of hours, and there are many Management postions open at the moment.... But i doubt your interested in a carreer in McDonalds.
But i wish you much luck with the job hunt, and hopefully finding one relatively close to home.
