25, üniversiteden sonra askeri rotayı düşünüyor

Şu anda gelecek yıl 26 yaşında bilgisayar mühendisliği alanında lisans derecesi ile mezun olmak üzereyim. Savunma sanayinde donanım işi yapmak üzere ayarlanmış bir işim var (>82 bin başlangıç ​​maaşı), ancak bir parçam gerçekten askeri rotanın derinliklerine dalmak ve doğrudan subay olarak kaydolmak istiyor. Özellikle Hava Kuvvetlerinde. Şu anda kurumsal dünyaya pek inancım yok ve üniversitede öğrendiğim becerilerle bir tür mali güvence elde etmek için orduda elimden geldiğince zamanımı feda etmeye hazırım.

Astsubay olmak, geleneksel kurumsal mühendislik rotasına gitmekle karşılaştırıldığında kariyer gidişatımı nasıl değiştirirdi? Bir subay olmak hangi kariyerlere başlamamda bana yardımcı olabilir?

    You have a degree in computer engineering and want to go into the military? You’ll get low pay for 4 years plus an ironclad contract you can’t get out of.

    To be a commissioned officer you must have a degree (check) and a commissioning source. For you, you will need OCS/OTS. You have to apply and get accepted, your degree will make your application more valuable. You are probably too old to be a pilot if you wanted to.

    There are incredibly few ways to get your student loans paid off (none come to mind for USAF officers).

    You can not have disqualifying drug use or health issues like flat feet, asthma, bad back, etc.

    Here is the current year pay chart for the military

    Edit: there is no guarantee you will get your desired job (MOS/AFSC). The needs of the military come first. However, your degree is in demand and you would probably have a better chance getting what you want.

    I don’t recommend the military route as an officer if you’re not 100% about the military culture and lifestyle. Using an enlistment as a stepping stone is already miserable, I can’t imagine trying to be a commissioned officer to do the same thing.

    If you already have an offer lined up at 82k, I think you’re in a pretty solid spot. Going officer in the Air Force can be great, but it’s a whole lifestyle shift, not just a career move. You’re trading stability and control for structure and obligation.

    Officer experience does open doors later. Leadership roles, program management, defense contracting, gov gigs… people take that background seriously…If you’re feeling called to serve, it’s worth exploring. You won’t lose your engineering edge, you’re just adding leadership on top of it

    The military won’t pay you 82k. If you want to go into the military, consider the reserves.

    The Air Force is a great way to get some experience AND get veterans benefits. The best is $0 down VA home loans.

    You can’t go wrong with the Air Force. You’ll be living a very good comfortable life.

    Check out r/airforceots ; If you are going the military route, talk to an officer recruiter, not an enlisted recruiter. Typically OTS for the Air Force/ Space Force is a two year process. Take a look at direct commissioning opportunities such as Cyber Direct Commissioning Program for the USAF. Explore if you want to do active duty, reserves, or national guard. You can do ROTC with a graduate degree, typically 3 years. Besides educational benefits and military pay, you get BAH, basic allowance for housing to pay for housing when serving. Remember you are not enlisting as an officer but commissioning. Best of Luck.

    Imagine how solid your career foundation will always look with “United States Air Force” on there, there is nothing else like it honestly.

    Also, good job on thinking of the Air Force specifically, it was the best time man.

    if you had gone into the military prior to college that could have been a good move (due to free/subsidized school), but honestly you’re in a great spot and the military really wouldn’t benefit you at this point.

    take the software job, expand your technical skills, and after a few years you’ll be all set to job hop for a bit to pursue higher salary and better WLB. don’t overthink this – your compsci degree already has you in a great position and software engineering isnt going anywhere.

    Myriad of opportunities which you may only have as a veteran. Main thing I would add is: if you love America then do it! This is why I enlisted; I love the USAF !
    Could also consider the Space Force. It was not established in my time, but I enjoyed being in a job which I worked on such things.

    Especially as a engineer, you can always make money; but, some things have value that you cannot put a price on.

    You’d “be willing to sacrifice however much time you can in the military to attain some financial security with the skills you’ve learned in university”?

    Seems like joining the military instead of working as an engineer would be in direct contradiction to that goal.

    Additionally you’re a 26 year old college graduate without any corporate experience? Bro, you need to get your feet wet now. At this point you badly need real work experience. Definitely go the corporate route.
