Out of interest, those who have been in the military.
Would you say there is another job which is on par with working in the military, or is there another career path that you would have chosen to do over the military if you had your options again ?
Yes. I actually would have gone to a top 10 business school(which, with a 1550/1600 SAT I could easily have gotten a direct admit for) and gotten an entry level position with an audit or consulting firm. The work isn't as exciting but you still get to travel and the exit opportunities are much better.
Also, as an officer your hours may vary. I was pulling 70 hour weeks....during the roughly half the time that I got to spend at home and not in the field. For that and all the same disadvantages you could be making two or three times the salary in investment banking, while also getting fantastic exit ops.
