for military everything is the same except i think in the army you can pick your job from the 1st time. but im joining the AF...

pay and benefits are the same though.

I basically made this chart to show the differences between these options.

feel free to share what your career path was and how you got there and why.

College was a waste of time for me, job market is shit unless you’re a giga nerd.

Currently trying to get in to trades

thats a business. this is an education chart

business chart would probably be

online,

brick and motor,

trades,


ideally you'd want a stable income at least upper middle class before starting youtube

yeah just study up and ace it.

i did good on my ASVAB, but someone who failed it before is going into Cyber, so its about determination more than anything
