Hi all, sorry for barging in again with seemingly random questions, but I really do need to get this one resolved, or else I won't be able to sleep at night.
My parents are still somehow reserved with me doing my undergraduate studies in a military institute in the USA. Not that they doubt the credibility of VMI itself, but they are apprehensive of my chances of finding employment in the outside world once I graduate from VMI. I'm also curious about this; besides spawning army officers, I am aware that VMI produces quite a number of lawyers, engineers and business leaders. But based on the current situation in USA and the world, do you think VMI graduates can adequately seek jobs in their respective fields? I understand that when it comes to finding employment, your achievements in college and your own personality are important traits, but for a school like VMI which is different from a typical four-year college, I am curious about the ability of VMI graduates to find employment not just in the USA, but throughout the world.
If anyone here knows someone from VMI who has been rather successful in any field in the USA or overseas, please post it here. Doesn't have to be someone famous/super-successful, just to let readers get an idea of where VMI graduates have landed so far.
I'm truly sorry on posting this long question. But I really need it answered and I need someone knowledgeable about VMI to answer it for me.
Thanks!
