My ASVAB test score was high enough that my recruiter wanted me to do be a medic. Instead I signed up as a 92Y. I served out my 3 year contract in the ARNG and went back into factory work. I got hired on at a styrofoam plant as a machine operator. I spent 3 years there before they closed down. As of now I work in security and have a side job in retail. I'm planning on finally using my GI Bill this year. I'm considering going in for automotive technology.
In addition to what Bfine said, man get service connected. Because they also have another program for us vets, I think it is called V-RAP. Where they will pay for you schooling housing vehicles and what not after G.I.BILL runs out. I currently use the POST 9-11 G.I.BILL not sure if you served during 9-11 but if you did you can use all 3 benefits.
