    I joined not long after high school because I wasn’t gonna be able to pay for college, not that I was a good student anyway.

    Should you not be pissed off that this was one of the very few options you had in order to have a chance at success later in life because of your economic situation rather than touting this as a good idea?

      More options are better, usually, so sure, I would have liked the option not to join.

      But like I said, I’m a terrible student and still haven’t gone back to use my education benefit even though it would cost me nothing but time.

      I’m simply providing a counter to the sentiment “I don’t wanna die for some oil company”.

      To be honest, I think it every time I see people complaining about their prospects. Rather than bitch about it online, I did something to upgrade my socioeconomic status.
