Discipline is not a dirty word. There is far more freedom and opportunity for creativity and success in enjoying discipline. Years ago, someone I very much respect told me the reason they were successful is that they embraced doing what other people resent or are reluctant to do.

Summary
My six years of military training have likely provided you with a strong foundation in discipline, teamwork, and leadership. These skills are highly transferable and can be beneficial in any field, including Information Technology (IT) and Agriculture.
In the realm of IT, my military training has honed my problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work under pressure. These qualities are crucial in IT, where you may need to troubleshoot issues, ensure the security of systems, and keep up with rapid technological changes.
In Agriculture, discipline and teamwork are equally important. Farming requires careful planning, hard work, and coordination with others to ensure crops are planted and harvested at the right times. My leadership skills can also be beneficial if I managing a team or running a farming business.
Working towards a dual degree in IT and Agriculture opens up a wide range of opportunities. I could work in agtech, a rapidly growing field that applies technology to improve farming practices. This could involve anything from developing software for precision farming to using data analysis to optimize crop yields.
In summary, my military training has equipped me with valuable skills that can be applied in pursuit of a dual degree in IT and Agriculture. This unique combination could lead to a fulfilling and dynamic career in the agtech industry
