I think the pay is fair for the military. It is an entry-level job. I used it as an example since it is how I spent the first 10 years or so of my adulthood.

I think the pay is fair for the military. It is an entry-level job. I used it as an example since it is how I spent the first 10 years or so of my adulthood. Becuase I got paid crap and had horrible working conditions it gave me the motivation I needed to learn how to program computers. Now I am a highly paid SWE. If I was making 100k a year enlisted I would have never had the motivation to do what I am doing now.

To be clear, you're now arguing pay at Amazon is "crap" but that it's good because it gives people motivation to change careers. Glad we could clarify that.

  To be clear, I said my pay was crap when doing a comparison to my pay as an SWE. It was crap, but fair considering my skill set.
