Military is definitely an overlooked option. If sign up for an intel or cyber job, you'll probably have a 9-5 job after boot camp, get trainining, certifications, tuition assistance to finish a degree, veterans preference on jobs once you get out, and probably a security clearance. Even as a Marine it wasn't bad; the non-intel Marines used to joke that we were civilians in uniform. It can also help iron out some personality issues unless you have a big problem with authority. The military definitely isn't a bunch of mindless robots like you see on TV and movies.
- wildermuthn 6y agoWell said! If you can’t turn around your life yourself (I couldn’t), you can at least delegate that task to an organization willing to spend ungodly amounts of money and time on making you a productive member of its society. Whether you like it or not.
- lkm93 6y agoSee, but intelligent people will consider you a parasite for assisting in US imperialism. Maybe we could recommend a path that does not include indiscriminant murder overseas?
- jl2718 6y agoDefinitely. Ignore the pay. It’s worth it. Also ignore SV pay. It’s not. Take all the crazy assignments. Fringe personalities are on the front lines. Go there. That’s the part of my career I regret least.
