I thought about this a long time ago, and since I always wanted a meaningful life, I decided to go into the AirForce to avoid a life like that. However, for the 9-5 people, and those getting close, doesn't it scare you that your life pretty much is stuck in that loop until you retire and die? If you go into Auto-pilot, that years you can spend doing pretty much nothing but making money. I can't understand how anyone can live like that.

As long as you dont settle at a 9 to 5 job you'll be ok.

Always work towards something better.

Well, you gonna need to grow up one day. There are people who have jobs they don't like and they still doing it cause they need to survive. So i consider myself lucky

Work is something you spend some of your time on, for the purpose of survival. Just like eating, sleeping, etc.

It's what you do with the spare time that counts.

Hobbies are just a distraction. That how I felt when I worked my job in the courthouse that was 8:30 to 5. I couldn't live like that, but that just me.

I just feel like, in the Airforce, I will be doing something more significant than just surviving. Contributing to my country, doing something to be proud of. Some of it is honestly romanticism of military life, but I don't see anything else in life to look forward to.

You don't live to do anything. Yes there are fat losers at the top who were born into their wealth and have no empathy but there's nothing you can do about that and even if you killed them or something it wouldn't elevate your life. In a hundred years you'll both be in the ground and in many billions of years there will be no energy left for a brain to even comprehend it.

You'll be very proud to sit in a cramped room for ten hours pinpointing Syrian hospitals to dronestrike, I'm sure.

Most likely not. Realistically he's much more likely to do boring jobs like maintain equipment or something just as monotonous as civilian life. At least he knows he's romanticizing it and he may actually feel something good from being a part of something bigger. Hes like a recruiters wet dream though.

The alternative is sitting at home, getting bit by bugs because I don't have a bed and sleep on the couch in the basement, constantly have my skin breakout, and killing big ass American cochroaches. So regardless of what I think, this is honestly the best way for me.
