Do not sign on while habouring delusions that you can "trick" SAF to fund for your schooling and then after 6 years run off with the free education to the high paying corporate world. The transition from army to corporate is far harder that most people think even for officers, specialist will get it doubly worse.

SAF is not stupid, they are know that many are thinking of pulling this stunt, but ultimately most will LLST and rot there for the rest of their lives when they cant get anything outside without taking a huge paycut.
Sorry for being ignorant about this, but may i ask why is it so tough to transit from army to corporate life? is it about taking a huge paycut? or is it the 0 working experience that you have?

The hard part is within you, or the corporate world?
