BASE PAY - a college educated, USAF pilot, 2/Lt., under two years active duty does not meet your criteria ($29,631.60). When you add housing, flight pay, subsistance, etc., it becomes attractive. Of course he/she won't get ten days + off a month, may have extended remote assignment overseas and get shot at on a regular basis.
"Worth" has a different meaning to each individual.
