Hey there folks, I‘m a 19 year old male finishing high school. When I graduate, my marks wont be good enough to get into University right away, (i‘d probably have to do a year of college then get accepted). My problems in school and lack of marks has nothing to do with me being stupid, or slow. Just a result of me being extrodinarily effecient at procrastinating.
I‘ve been feeling an immense pressure to get post secondary education, and I wonder if it is really what I want. All throughout my life I was always absorbed in military games, always wanted to be a soldier. My question is for anyone in the military, and especially other people in the Infatry. Is the societal stereotypes placed on Infantry really hard to deal with? In relation to your family. Do you ever feel like a failure in society because you didn‘t go get the highly valued university degree‘s or whatnot?
Whats life in the Infantry really like? How is the pay? what options are available for progressing through ranks and what future careers could you explore?
Anyones comments are great,
thanks folks.
