I concure with his assesment.

I joined the military and got an College diploma as a telecomunications technologist. and two years University degree towards being a telecomunications Engineer. It was all paid for by the Govt. of Canada @ a cost of $80k so far and the last two years of my degree will cost $20k. I got a starting salary (while in school) of $27k per year and it has increased for the past three years to $50k a year this year.

All my tuition, books, full medical/dental coverage, and even housing and food was 100% paid for by the Govt. I know you got to commit to a three year contract with the Military when you join. But, after two years I had the diploma as a technician and could have walked at the end of that same year and my three year contract would have been over and I had a college diploma and a could have taken a job instantly with the OPP as a support technician and made $65k/yr. starting (full benefits after a year)

I'm not bragging I'm just saying the best "Company" to work for is the Govt. They don't say no to too many people and they are not afraid to spend the money on their employees now to train them. (in certain positions and trades)
