Got an email through my school. Basically I could finish out my degree and they'd train me to be a pilot. I would make $60k a year.

Is this BS? Also, would this be like the worst decision of my life? I don't wanna end up fighting for Israeli genocide or Ukraine.

RN I'm studying spanish in guatemala and traveling south america a bit. I've gotten some pressure to consider it. I wanted to hear from y'all because I don't wanna hear a bunch of biased BS.

This isn't a shitpost, and I'm probably not going to do it. Was wondering if anyone in here was in a similar spot.

My gut instinct is that they're telling lies about the pays/opportunities.

Thoughts?

    Hey, I was in the Navy. They dangle being a pilot in front of people as a classic bait-and-switch. If you have any vision problems whatsoever, if you have any mental health issues, if you have any physical health issues that you don’t even know about, you will be disqualified and assigned the least desirable duties available.

    Recruiters lie like a fish swims through water. Ship life sucks shit, subs don’t see the sun or visit any “fun” foreign ports, some air bases are nice but most are in the middle of nowhere.

    Ask me any questions about it. My background was enlisted on a surface ship, air defense.
