all the certifications and classes you take in the military, are they useful in civilian careers or would all that be wasted once you get out?
At the least, you get the training and the experience. Smart folk will go downtown and take the cert exams--which the GI Bill pays for. So you leave service with real certification--the paper and the experience, not just the paper.
Oh, and let me repeat: The GI Bill pays for the certification exams, as often as you need to take them to pass.
Various engineering, nursing, medical doctor would be your best bet in my opinion.
'Fraid that's true. There are the specialized professions: Law, medical, clergy. For everything else, engineers (or at least STEM degrees) get dibs. But the Air Force does like to recruit engineers.
if were to join the military with a college degree what degree should i get
p.s. i want to join air force
If you want to become an officer, STEM degree makes the best ones, among other requirements you have to fufill as well.
if your just want to enlist, very common these days, go right ahead, slightly higher pay.

The military(all branches) has a medical school of their own located in Bethesda, Maryland. It opened up when I was in the AF in the 70's, and at the time, if you were selected, I think you received E5 pay while attending and are promoted to Captain(O3) upon graduation. Then there was a commitment to serve for 6-8 years, I am not sure about that either. Worth checking out if interested in becoming a doctor, without the usual student loan debt. You can live pretty well on O3 wages in the military.
If you have the pre-med classes and a degree, you can look into it. If you are trying to decide on a degree...
The post you quoted was talking about medical school.
