Well everyone, I'm in desperate straits. I'm out of money and out of work. After countless resumes with several interviews over the course of 9 months, I have nothing to show for it. I haven't even been able to get a job at the temp agencies. I have no money and I need health insurance and dental insurance. The only option I can see out of this is to enlist for military duty. They are the only ones that are hiring.
I know many think this might not be a good idea. I don't want to join the military, get my hair cut, go to a foreign country, etc. I just don't see any other options. I've tried everything to get a job. I know I'll be putting my life on the line. That doesn't really bother me too much. It would be worse for me to be a burden on others. At least I wouldn't feel that I'm a leech or something. I know that military duty isn't really great money, but there really are no other jobs out there. I've looked. I'd have health insurance at least. I could take some pride in what I do. I may not agree with the policy of the government but at least I'd be serving the country.
I thought I'd ask people what is the best way to go about this? What is the best branch to go in, specialty, etc. How does the recruitment process work? Can you negotiate at all with recruiters? I'd be appreciative for any tips.
