minus-squarecapital@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-211 months agoI’ll go against the grain here. I joined not long after high school because I wasn’t gonna be able to pay for college, not that I was a good student anyway. Spent most of my 4 year Air Force enlistment in the UK doing what I wanted - sysad, basically. Never deployed. Got out and worked for increasingly higher pay and now I make $250k+ without a college degree.
minus-squareAllero@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoIt is fairly dystopian in itself that army is used as a social mobility tool. A ton of resources go into luring young men into doing what is ultimately useless, dangerous and harmful. Resources that could be spent to help so much more people.
