If you have passion for the job, you will not regret the choice as this is one job that allows you to see the real world and influence lies of people. It requires personal commitment and sacrifice of time. So you can live with the fact (OMS holders will always have a smoother path than direct entry), then go for it. The salary and promotion prospects are much better now so you should have a decent income by 40. Don't join because of pay (anyway no time to enjoy if you are dedicated). But do consider limited career option if you leave - at least during the initial few years cos people out there don't quite understand the skills and knowledge one can develop in the force.
