With low retention and enlistment rates for the military right now, I foresee some lucrative benefits being added to joining the military. Would you join the military for the money/GI BILL? Is it worth the monetary advantages?

GI Bill and the VA Home Loan are amazing long-term benefits. Depending on your MOS you also get work experience and "leadership experience," which looks good on your resume and boosts your long-term earning potential.

I joined the military and served for 10 years(I'm white btw). I served in a non-combat MOS and it was pretty chill. Be sure to claim disability, and you are guaranteed free money for the rest of your life. I didn't pay a single cent for my three college degrees, and I utilized the VA home loan. It is what you make of it.

From an euro ex-military perspective.
Always take the path that requires the highest aptitude score it WILL be the comfiest. Always try to go for the air-force, it's usually the best funded branch.

What I've gathered from, /k/ try to get a mos with clearance requirements, that can be handy when applying for contractor jobs afterwards.

Literally the best career decision you can make. Wagner pay +$40K a month for assault troops, in a country where the average yearly salary is less than $10K. If these pay levels are representative of what you can get as a willing competent soldier in an environment of acute need for someone with your skills. It would be +$200K a month - easily.
There will always be a demand for soldiers, always, the US and the west have had chronic shortage of recruitment for decades and it is getting worse.

For any young lad in his 20's, this is the best career path available at the moment, the demand for the skills you learn is so loopsided that you inevitably is gonna make a lot of money from it.

Heinlein was prescient when he wrote starship troopers. We're heading for a future where "voluntary" military service becomes a prerequisite for basic things like voting or applying for tax credits. It will take a generation or two of incremental conditioning but they'll get there.

Full GI Bill benefits give you 36 months of completely free education that can be put toward most certifications and any public (state) school. It will pay for private colleges, but only up to a certain amount. A hard worker could earn three degrees in 36 months. Plus some states have state GI Bill benefits. There are also programs for active duty Soldiers that will pay for certifications and classes.

Do not join the Marines or Army under any circumstances. Join the Navy or Air Force Reserve. Do not go active duty. Get the easiest, most bullshit specialty that that you can get with your ASVAB score.
