like to hear advises from ppl here, this decision has troubling me for quite sometime and time to make a firm decision.
23this yr, a diploma holder, doing
NS in the ARMY now, considering to sign on that comes with a sign-on bonus of $25k. seeing the $25k, it will enable me to take up a degree in the future without getting a bankloan.
starting pay is $2.2k not bad for diploma holder, however i dunno how much is the increment every year.
the minimum term to serve is 4 years, i was thinking doing my part time degree during the 4 years. however, by then ill be 28, w/o any working experience other than army.
my end goal is still getting a degree and working outside. the thought of signing on is because it can prevent me getting into study debts. and of cos a safe income every month.
my other plan in getting a degree is start working then study part time or work part time study full time.
let me know what u guys think, thank you.
