Should I consider a different career path?

  I'm a regular serviceman and I'm into my final year in the university.
  I'm not a officer but a lowly specialist.
  
  Upon graduation, I'll have 2-5 years to serve. I have served 4 years prior to entering the university.
  
  Now that I'm into my final year, I'm considering the possibility of doing a graduate degree. I'm also thinking of serving in DSO or DSTA. However, I do not know if I can take the pressure. I do not know the pay cut I'd have to take too.
  
  It's kinda ironic to give up a not-too-bad paying job where I don't have to burn so much brain cells for a dunno-how's-the-pay-like job in DSO,DSTA and risk burning my brain cells. The latter offers a better social status though.
  
  So guys and girls, can u give me some opinion?

  Working in DSTA gives you a better social standing? Hmm not bad...
