Well buttcommander . I work 25 -30 hours a week, am a full time student , and am financially independent . So really nice of you to assume.
Military is a good option if you want to waste 4 years of your life only to have to do another 4 for college.
My friend is in the marines, is planning on going to college after. Of thats ehat you want to do them great, otherwise it is a waste. Where there are not only loans, but also you could get a job today to pay for school.
Also , I work at Costco , I'm making 11:hr , minimum wage is 8

Out of high school I scored a 97 on my ASVAB and had one of the highest scores on my NAPT ( Navy Nuclear Power Test ) in the county. I basically would have signed on for 4 years, 2 of them being school and the other 2 being either on a submarine as a nuclear generator tech or served 2 years at a navy testing school teaching people shit I learned.
I would have had 70k guaranteed upon completion of my 4 years with another 120k signing bonus if I signed on another 2. ( I think those numbers are correct, it's been years but if they're not then they're really close ). If I wanted to not sign on for another 2 I could have had easy empoloyment into a ton of really high paying jobs at like NASA n shit~
I played poker instead

But most people who are smart will go into the military to get a free education, a good amount of money, and put themselves in a better position to get a high paying job since most employers are way more inclined to hire people with a military background.
So yeah, you're a fucking moron.
derp
I'd also like to say that I had a friend who went through the same program I qualified for and is now incredibly set for life after serving 6 years.
Your friend probably didn't score high and went into a shit position, see in my post I said why 'smart' people go to the military. Obviously there are people who go because they don't have many opportunities but if you're a valuable person then they won't waste you in the military.
