I dropped out of nursing

I dropped out of nursing and i want to join the CAF as a secondary career path. Iam thinking of transitioning to a generic science degree and joining as an officer. I want to apply for the paid education program, but is this feasible?

You need to find a trade that requires a science related diploma or accepts any diploma. Infantry officer for example, accepts all bachelor's degrees. Heath Services Manager accepts business degrees, and some others. Talk to a recruiter about your intended degree and they can tell you what trade lines up with that degree. You could also o back to nursing and join as a nursing officer, depending on how long you have left on your degree.

It's absolutely feasible to apply for the paid education program while pursuing a generic science degree, especially if you're looking to join the CAF as an officer. The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) often support education paths that align with their operational needs, and science degrees can definitely fit into this scope. The key is to research the officer roles you're interested in and ensure your degree aligns with the requirements for those positions. Reaching out to a CAF recruiter would also be a great step – they can provide tailored advice, help you understand the program details, and guide you through the application process. With proper planning and determination, transitioning into this secondary career path is achievable!
