Electronics is not a difficult career path because you can learn so much on the job. Most electronic careers don't even require a formal college education (except for perhaps electrical engineering). I was trained on electronics in the Marine Corps. All branches of the service offer electronic careers of some sort. There are also many technical schools throughout the country where you can learn electronics in a relatively short amount of time. You could also pursue an entry level job within an electronic related company and learn/work your way up on the job.
