I've been in college the last few years since high school, and I've pretty much decided on becoming an electrical engineer at the University of Victoria.
I took a quick look at this site: http://www.forces.ca/media/_pdf/rotp_civ_en.pdf
but it did not have much information. Also just as a note, I did a bunch of searching but didn't find much on my questions.
I have to say this right off the bat: I don't know much about the military system.
My first question is after getting my degree, how long would I have to stay with the military for? Would I be able to do two semesters (8 months) of classes at the university, then 4 months of work for the military? As someone who is becoming an electrical engineer, what type of work would I be doing? Is there any chance I would be sent away from Canada?
It sounds too good to be true, having my education paid for, along with being paid while going to school.
Essentially, I don't want to be sent into some country (like Afghanistan) and be put into a situation where I could end up dying. Is this possible, or would there be a good chance I'd be sent to a possible war zone?
Thanks for the time of everyone who reads and considers my post.
