I'm curious why you have that impression. I spent 6 years in the Marine Corps Infantry and I've found it super helpful now 6 years into my career as a software developer. Specifically, because of the leadership style you learn.
The only thing I'd say it made it more difficult to adapt to was college where I had to interact with a bunch of kids with no life experience and lots of strong opinions about how the world does and should work.
- benedikt 8y agoCurious, were you much older than the other students in college?
- CSMastermind 8y agoI served for 6 years so I was 24 when they were 18.
