Because of you want a job that’s not flipping burgers or a trade, you either need to have money for college or need to join the military to pay for college later.
The reality is, most jobs that require a degree shouldn’t. I have a degree and have a great job, but what I do isn’t at all related to what I studied in college.
I never finished college and have a pretty nice IT job now.
Admittedly I had a lot of shit jobs before by some luck one of those places I worked at for a couple years had an IT opening. I applied and had somewhat of a reputation for helping out the less technically savvy peeps on my line, went to the interview, answered their questions and got my foot in the door for experience.
It wasn’t a great paying position but eventually I was able to move elsewhere and a couple jobs later I found myself making decent money, better money than some I know that do have college degrees.
You’re being downvoted, but why else do people sign up to kill other people and be shot at voluntarily?

What if we - and bear with me here - built a society where you didn’t have to kill people to go to college?
Sounds great.
But until then don’t blame 18yo kids with no other prospects for taking the path that will keep them from being homeless.
Not 100% true.

The majority of service members are not infantry. You’re far more likely to be a desk jockey or a support role than see combat.
I struggle to see the difference.
Because they’re poor and joining gives them a way to feed and shelter themselves and their family.
Imagine living in a world where you have to kill other people before society thinks you’re valuable enough to feed and shelter your family.
I mean. There are a lot of places like that including ones where it’s mandatory. So, what was your point again?
Not to mention the fact that not everyone who serves actually kills people, but I imagine that distinction is lost on you.
Not everyone can take the truth
