    I’ll go against the grain here.

    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.

    Spent most of my 4 year Air Force enlistment in the UK doing what I wanted - sysad, basically. Never deployed.

    Got out and worked for increasingly higher pay and now I make $250k+ without a college degree.

      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?
