One was one month from finishing his MBA anyways, and is now working using his degree.
Another left to go work in nursing homes.
Another went to sell cars.
Basically, without the certainty of when things would return to normal, they found other options that at the very least didn't involve being as harassed as they were when serving. Many are still picking up an occasional shift here and there, for some extra money. But they no longer rely on it to live on.
