Hello all,
I am currently an AS250 in AFROTC. I contract my junior year. Recently I have been struggling with how I feel about the program and what would be the best course for my life to take. I am a finance major with a 3.445 GPA. I just don't know if I would be better off not in ROTC, pursuing a private sector career and working on the side ( Or reserves) and focusing on grades, then get a decent job out of college. OR, go through ROTC, and commission as an officer with a guaranteed job. I just do not know which I would be better off doing. Which offers more opportunity and which will put me in the best position 5 or so years out of college.
Any advice as too what I should do?
Ive considered doing ROTC getting a masters and then once my contract is up going to the private sector. But in this case I do not see where ROTC could help me financially because I am not scholarship and I heard it is very hard to get the Air Force to pay for a masters in Finance.
So I wonder if I would be better off saving the time I currently spend in ROTC and using it to focus solely on grades and pursuing a job after college.
Any thoughts? Questions? I am just trying to work through this, it is a big life decision. Thank you.
