Signing On, still considered as "Iron rice bowl"? Worth it or not?
Hi, recently I went to my Uni Career Fair and interacted with a lot of companies. Among them that caught my interest was the Pubilc Service industry, mainly the Uniform Groups (Army, Navy, Air Force, DIS).
Do you think it is still a good choice to join the Force upon graduating and work in the Force for the benefits:
Degree Holder Salary:
Military Expert 4 - Trainee (equal to a Captian in training): S$2.84K ~ $6.19K
Military Expert 4-1 (Officially start working): S$5.1K ~ S$6.42K
At ages 32, 40, and 50 Y/O, receive 12-month, 8-month, and 8-month bonuses based on rank held at the respective age.
What do you think, for a stable career, working in the Force till 60Y/O, then either retire or transit to a Public Sector role with the help of the Force.

While its considered stable job, I think its really important to think it through about signing on, and not for the $$. While $$ can be attractive, the work you do may not be, and of course you are being bounded and have many limitations when you are in the force.

If you are someone that value time and freedom , military isnt the best option. Don't let the money persuade you so fast, unless there are really no other options then I would suggest you to sign on.
