The Seven-Step Army Problem Solving Army Problems

I am going to be using the seven-step Army problem solving process to solve the issue of not having enough money for college and expenses. Many college students, as well as myself, do not have the money to buy things like gas, books, and food while attending college. Most of them just try to survive through each semester with the money they have. In this essay, I will examine the issue and try to find a solution that will fix this problem. As mentioned earlier there are 7 steps to the Army problem solving process. These steps are as follows: Identify the problem, gather information, develop criteria, generate possible solutions, analyze possible solutions, compare possible solutions, and make and implement the decision. The first step is
When generating solutions, you are essentially brainstorming so any solution is considered. I came up with 3 possible solutions: Get a part-time job, Rob a bank, and borrow more money. Step 5 is to analyze possible solutions. If we got a part-time job we would have enough money to have a nightlife and afford books while attending college, but it could impact our G.P.A by taking away study time from us. If we rob a bank we would have more than enough money to make it through college and start our lives, but we would most likely get caught which would result in jail time and getting kicked out of college. If we borrow more money we would have enough money to make it through college, but we would end up paying it off for most our lives. The sixth step is to compare possible solutions. When looking at the 3 possible solutions, we can essentially throw out one since it is illegal which would be robbing a bank. That would leave us with two solutions to compare. The borrowing money would solve the issue, but would lead to us paying back more money than what we borrowed. The part-time job solution would solve the issue, but it could impact our G.P.A. If we chose to get a part-time job we would have to
