^I know that comment is trolling but "Millenials" are not the ones being recruited into the Military now. We're a generation removed from that.

I don't know about the Army, but you can be as old as 39 and still enlist in the Navy.

Also, nothing wrong with military service.

Joining the military is a much better career starter than getting $100k into debt for a sociology degree.

Their families. Because I'm sure student debt is specifically designed to stick even after death if you can't declare bankruptcy.

All debt does

edit: to the degree that it comes out of your estate. if your estate is zero, it can't be put on your spouse. The debt is eaten

True, I have nothing more than a high school degree and I am making 80k a year, full medical/dental, plus I am looking at $110k+ job offers when I get out plus some form of steady retirement pay plus a retirement fund >_>.

And I've never had to deploy, the longest I've spent away from home is literally five weeks lol

Your argument basically only holds up if its a bullshit liberal arts degree though.

That would basically be true no matter what the other alternative was.

Military isnt really a bad gig pay wise if your smart about it.

If you live in the barracks that means no rent, and no utility payments. You can eat 3 meals a day at the chow hall without paying extra. Only thing I paid for was cell phone, internet, and gas money for the first 5 years of my career. This makes it stupid easy to save money.

I deployed at my 2 year mark and didnt get taxed for those 6 months, when I returned I had over $50,000 in savings at 20 years old.

A year later I re-enlisted for a $20,000 bonus. Got promoted and earned a housing allowance which is adjusted for where you live so I was getting $1100 extra month and found a place to live for $900 after utilities I still make money on the deal. At one point I went to Airborne school to become a parachutist. I get paid an extra $150 a month now, theres my internet and cell phone bill.

Since then I deployed two more times to tax free zones. One of which I was making $75 per day for per diem, so that was an extra $13,000 on top of my regular tax free pay. Needless to say 8 years later that financially Im doing pretty alright and the longer I stay In Im just gonna make significantly more. Matter of fact if I re-enlisted next year thats another free $30,000 for me.

And if I get out Ill just go to college for free. After they pay my rent for me of course

The inactive thing doesnt mean much though. Pretty much that if WW3 kicked off your obligated to come back to active duty and serve.

You have no commitment outside of that.

The military has been a pathway to paid education long before there was a Student Loan Crisis.

Guess they didn't teach you that in your Basket Weaving course at USC...

This also shouldnt be a surprise though, the war in the Middle East regarding ground troops has been in a gradual downswing since 2012.

The vast majority of service members are not going to war. So obviously the great benefits would be most peoples desire to join.
