Hey all,
In the midst of getting my sent to my prospective schools, ive given alot of thought to joining the navy and letting them pay for it. I'd rather go to school on their dime, travel the world, get paid and then get out when Im 40 and start making really money. Besides, we wont really end up getting "established" into a practice until we're in our mid 30's anyways, so i figured why not get out and be completely debt free? That's the reasoning behind it, and plus i hope to live in spain for a few years like i did in undergrad. Im sure there are others out there that have joined the navy, what do you think? what was your thinking when you started with the HPSP program in the navy? do you like it? are you happy with your decision to spend a few years in the military so youre not paying off 250K for the rest of your life? Just wanted to see what some other future docs thought.
