French universites, will the military pay?

Question

HI, I am a 17 year old kid trying to decide my life, i am going into my senior year of high school. I want to live and work in france. I am going to join the military when I am older, and I'm wondering what is the best branch or w/e to join if I want money to help pay for a french university. Would it be the marines or the army? I am physically fit, will the marines pay more than the army? And what french universites would you recommend. And what would be a good field to geta degree in? i am wanting to live in france after my university(probably marry a french girl or something) so what jobs are good? thanks!

Answer 1

No military branch will pay for any foreign university unless it is located in the United States. Do you even speak French if not how will you be able to join a French University? If you do speak French find a job as a English translator or tour guide. It takes 1.6 Dollars to exchange for 1 Euro so I guess you better think long and hard. Easiest ( guaranteed ) 2 ways to become a French citizen is through the French Foreign Legion or marry a French woman. If your a French citizen college and universities are free.

The new GI Bill does not mention anything about foreign universities and the old GI Bill only give about 2000 dollars a semester for foreign studies HARDLY enough.

Answer 2

You want to check with the Department of Veterans Affairs to see if any universities in France are covered by the GI Bill.
