I have just gotten accepted to a school that has a very high tuition. After calculating how much it would cost me to pay for tuition, books, living expenses, etc. I have come to realize that I will be close to half a million in debt not including interest.
Because of this, I recently started to entertain the idea of joining the military to pay for my education. I plan on doing the minimum time and getting the hell out (unless I come to realize that I like military medicine), and I am not thinking about doing primary care.
So here's my questions, is the minimum time I have to pay back to the military worth the obvious pros of being a part of the military??? I have been hearing a lot of bad things about general surgeons, anesthegiologists, and etc. experiences in the military.
Please discuss, I would really like to hear from those of you who have been or are currently doing your payback time.
