I totally disagree with this statement.  Where I live, military service is
highly valued, and you often see ads that include that as wanted
experience.  Maybe you're in the wrong part of the country?

Yeah, well  that's certainly a red herring.

Many people who spent years in a field are no longer in that field.  I
worked twenty years in various parts of TV, and I left it, and it only took
a few years to become so behind in the technology that I probably could
never work there again outside of a production management job, or cleaning
guy (same skills, different pay.)

I know of a couple TV anchors who ended up homeless.  It is all about
choice.  You choose paths. I'm 32 years older than you.  I deserve an M8, I
worked for it, and denied myself other things and now I enjoy the fruit of
that denial.
