Take two extra years to get an engineering degree from an Ivy

I have a cousin and a friend. Friend just finished uni and got out and makes 65K/yr entry level, loves engineering. My cousin has been Army for close to a decade, loves killing people. So which do you like more, engineering, or killing people? Pick that one.

>Take two extra years, or get blown up by goat fuckers

look at all of you jokers thinking anon will ever seen combat, if he enlists as air force or navy there's like a 1% chance, if he enlists as anything else the chance is still so tiny that he'll see combat but he deserves it because he chose inferior options.

A lot of it is about making the connections and getting my kids in (when I have them) as legacies.

>enlist

I'd be commissioning. And Air Force.

Is the Ivy League offer now or never? If this is your only shot at them I'd definitely pick engineering.

Now or never. I can join after, but I might lose my shot at a job I really want to class into.

Don't 1st year O-1s (your rank if commissioned) only make 31k a year? Keep the pay chart in mind if money matters a lot to you.

You're only an O1 for six months. Plus you also get BAH, which is about 10-12k annually tax free. Plus there's other forms of special pay.

You can make O3 within 2-3 years.
