Try as hard as I might, I can't seem to get any traction in this life. I gave 5 years of my life to the U.S. Navy, and served during two wars. I have a college degree, and good grades. I test well. I excel at almost everything I put my mind to. Yet, somehow, I am saddled with debt, and only make $17,000 per year. I am stuck in the mud and hope is dwindling fast. Help a veteran out?
