[QUOTE="tomzestatlu, post: 1359745, member: 11469"] I can't speak for US military but currently I'm in military somewhere in Europe (late 20s). I went through military schools and then I joined my unit and saw only negative things - reasons were the fact I didn't know anything than military and bad people around me. I burnt out quickly and left. I started to work for corporation and after 2 years I got back to military and realized this: - I have got plenty of free time in military in comparison to my corporate job. 5 day work weeks, no weekends, no staying until night at work. Of course some weeks there are exercises, but still it's pretty good in terms of time. - If you want to get fulfilled by this job, have goals and plan and work on it everyday. Mediocrity is big problem in civilian world and as well in military. Strive to become best and aim to some area, that attracts only the best. - Use your time wisely. Either working on yourself or working on your future (hustle). If you fall into soldier routine that only consists of getting drunk and play video games, you will be miserable (very common in military) - I have got much better experience with civilian bosses (even women) than with commanders in military (toxic leadership is huge problem). - Even though military is ran by dumb politicians and can serve for purposes I might not agree with, its somethinf I can take. I had some internal issues with this before, but I learned one thing in my life. Don't bother yourself with things you can't change. There's so much wrong happening in the world and if I should be constantly stressed about everything, I would be dead already. What is important for me is getting better in areas I'm responsible for, guys around me and my future. The fact that some big corporations are involved in something wrong happening in the world isn't something I can change. - Here it's still pretty masculine area. Of course there are women wearing uniform at desk jobs, but no SJW agenda is being pushed here. - Actually it's not bad money at all. So my conclusion is pro-military. I am that kind of guy who is always unhappy about something, so I checked other options and military is a winner. But its not about how much does this job give to you, but its about how much you give this job. And a little bit about luck to don't run to bad people. Or it's good job to earn decent money while working on your stuff. [/QUOTE]
