How many people from the services do you know who have gone on to well paying non-Defense jobs? I get the impression that the enlisted route you describe is very often a lifelong commitment to the defense industry.
In case you didn't know, working for a large defense contractor is very different from most of the "real world."
- ww 18y agoCount me as one from the 'services' that has gone on to well paying non-defense job(s). But you are correct in that it doesn't happen often. At least not without getting a degree somewhere along the line.
- walesmd 18y agoOf course it's different than the real world - it's government. I'm sure we've all heard the phrase "it's good enough for government work." Sad, yet true. Nonetheless, a lifelong commitment to the defense industry doesn't seem like a bad deal to me. Great pay, great hours, and no matter how bad the economy sinks - my job isn't going anywhere.
