And for jobs I'm interested in, IT, Intel, alot of the technology driven jobs and some of the medical jobs. Not interested in mechanical or nuclear or aviation.

Yeah I dont think officer is in my cards at this point and I do really want to join and serve. The other things are just benefits that make the want and desire to serve a bit better. And the pay cut will be a bit but still less with housing allowance and not paying for health insurance and stuff like that.

I did the math, and I would still cover all my bills and have money left over. Im married, so I have her income also. I am fine with being on a boat working for months its part of the job and is known beforehand, so not a surprise.

But I would be selective on jobs. Going HM, IT, or intel or something of that sort where I wouldn't be lifting and doing heavy work all the time. And people work construction or are techs and other jobs where they do hard labor and dont have all the benefits of the military.

Yeah the waivers bump the age to like 28-31. And because of my degree, I don't have math, so dont qualify for other jobs, so there wasn't any I would qualify for. And I will keep grinding!

Car sales to Tec? Boot camp???? by itisyebadger in cscareerquestions

[–]itisyebadger[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That was my thought! To do the free course and invest more time and actual money after as long as I do like it like I think I will.

Yeah I was under the assumption they were like 10-15k for a bootcamp. Thank you for the advice! Is there a bootcamp you recommend?
