Everyone says that army is no way for financial freedom and success. I want to know why people say this, I am a college grad and the only jobs out here pay between 30k and 40k starting off, and ur lucky if u get benefits i.e. 401k and healthcare. Ive looked at the annual salary charts for officers and they go from 37k to 80k in the first 4 yrs with promotions. You get benefits, and u can retire in 20yrs, not including the re-up bonuses.
Also when I look at the top paying jobs military jobs are never included and I know Majors to Brig Generals gross every bit of 80k -100k.
Ive served 4 and a half yrs in the reserve and from my perspective soldiers make pretty good money, its just they act childish and spend thier money like its going out of style i.e. cars, strip clubs, bars. so they have the perseption that they are broke. So how come I get the perseption that If I go active army Im going to be broke, or living a financialy mediocor life?
