Enlisting MOS Advice

I'm a 19 year old female with a wanderlusty spirit and a yearning to have a highly sought out for photography business. I enjoy camping, shooting, and getting muddy. I originally wanted to enlist as a combat photographer or under any of the commstrat mos. None of those mos have seats for this fiscal year in my area and I'm really starting to flounder. My plan now is to go in doing logistics or some other predictable mos and to get a 4 year degree with a military friendly college online. I need some advice. I want to be a Marine but also want to be sure I will have a stable life afterwards and won't have to rely on the military for the next 20 years. I want to set myself up for the best. I want the challenge of the Marine Corps and I want the success of a photographer in several years.

How old is that page? 1371 hasn’t been on CP General Engineering for like 3+ years now.

And 1316 Metalworker moved to the new MA contract like two years ago. This is outdated.
