I’ll go against the grain here.

I joined not long after high school because I wasn’t gonna be able to pay for college, not that I was a good student anyway.

Spent most of my 4 year Air Force enlistment in the UK doing what I wanted - sysad, basically. Never deployed.

Got out and worked for increasingly higher pay and now I make $250k+ without a college degree.
