>For a 32 year old (fit) male with a degree (hons) that they never really utilized, would I be stupid to try to get in as an officer?
Shitposter, basically I've been average my whole life, drifting between shit job to shit job. Never really utilized my degree and it's been 5 years since I finished.

Just had my latest major setback and it's either a) go back to study, b) grind in a average job making slightly more than minimum wage for 2-3 years or c) join the ADF as an officer candidate and hope for the best.

I'm hoping that the better than average pay, subsidized living and benefits (ie defence home loan) will mitigate the period of service in which I lose, my life I guess. I am looking at it to get paid to study, and walk out 5-6 years later with a qualification. Should I consider other options?
