Well, from what i understand, self-driven jobs like sales do not require a really good cert. (Thats also one of the reasons i wish to leave the military as your performance is not really taken into account, but rather your cert)Originally posted by CannyOng:Continue with yr military life. Since u can't make it to U,don't expect u can make it big outside with yr present cert! Tell yrself,r u a outrovert and have a business mind??

Extrovert - Yes, i am.
To be absolutely honest, i am good-looking, well-read and speak really well (i know i may seem very up myself, but the reason for stating the above is not because i wish to boast, but to disclose as much as possible so you may help me)
A hectic lifestyle is alright. In fact, i find that challenging and enjoyable. What i dun like is regimentation of the military (etc; hair, protocol and the like).

I am facing a choice that will probably change my life forever.
Biascally, it is either[b] A or B
Job choices:
A: Military - Lousy lifestyle, above-average pay.
B: Private sector?
A: Currently, i am working in the Military with a job that is very prestigous and well-paid. I may not be able to climb the ladder high as i am hindered by my education level (i am not able to go to university, my grades arent good enough).
With that said, i dun like the lifestyle there, I am not the type of person that loves the life of being in the military (For those who serve NS will know what its like). Also, the money part, its basically fixed, i wont be rich, nor will i ever be poor. (But due to my job, the salary itself is in the upper-tier in the military)
B: I really like to go for something that is self-driven. How much i work is how much i will be paid, theres a realy chance i will make it big. I have confidence in myself. im eyeing becoming a broker or a banker or something like that. Or maybe, start a business. But the sad truth is, i really dun know how its like out there in such industries(am i being naive?). I also love the freedom that the private sector brings.
What should i do? Continue with my Military career or go to the private sector and maybe... become someone

Hmmmm...Originally posted by maggot:I quit my military career to join private sector as military have mandatory retirement age and when you come out what are you going to do as you have no working experience of the outside world?
If you have family, you will have a hard time after you left the military
Well please think long term
All the best in your decisions![]()
I thought if you're able to save up a good sum and get GOOD CONTACTS wthin your service with the army, it might be some bargain...?Originally posted by needsomehelp:Hmmmm...
In my case, after a military career, i am able to join the private sector and earn a high pay. (at least 6k minimum but most of them earn about 10k per month after about 5years or so)
I am not willing to say where i am but if you're familar with the system, you know where i am. Thanks for the advise though.
