1. If you join the Air Force first, most of your tuition bill could be paid for. However, if you have a degree, before entering the Air Force, you can enter at a higher rank. If you stick with more basic degrees like Business, English or Communications, you'll have more flexibility as to any type of job you're ultimately seeking. More specialized degrees like medical, engineering or law will pay well, but will also require more time in school. The best paid jobs nowadays seem to be anything connected with being bilingual. Arab, Japanese, Spanish, etc... would all be good ones to be fluent in. You would definitely have an edge and be able to demand more compensation from a prospective employer.
