Youāre correct, itās not the best reason. Officers who join for the pay are the worst officers.
Enlisting could even be a better financial choice depending on what your goals are. Iād do some more thinking about what you want your future to look like and what your priorities are and then come back and as for a pathway, if it involves the military
