<prompt> Human: Hi, Im currently living with my parents and working at a local public library doing STEM education programs for teens. I desperately want to move and get away but Ive got nothing but rejection from all the jobs Ive applied to outside of my hometown. Would joining the military be a good financial move for me? Are there any major financial cons that come to spending time in the military?EDIT My degree is in Political Science with a minor in legal studies. I initially planned on going to law school after college.  <response>: There are very few cons to spending time in the military, once you get out of training. Once youre on active duty its a 9-5 job with rent and food paid-for. OK, 6:30-5, but whos counting?You can probably use the GI Bill for grad work if you want when you get out, or you can arrange to have it paid-for while youre in.As an enlisted person, a B.S. would get you a few insta-promotions: youd likely start as an E-4 instead of an E-1. The E-1sll catch up to ya fast enough so its not really worth it. A commission is absolutely worth it imo.If you decide to stay in for 20 years you can start drawing a pension in your mid-40s, plenty of time to start a new career while not worrying about paying the bills.The military is not for everybody. Most people can endure it, some flourish.
