Other professions
I have mentioned joining the military before. Even as a non-pilot it seems like a good deal. If you are single you could live on base and within a few years have all your student loans paid off.
The military provides a full retirement after 20 years. VA home loans and good pay and signing bonuses. If you are a career changer the military also pays for college in some cases.
It really is not my specialty and I have never been in the military but I wish I had.
