The recruiter's only goal is to get you to sign up. That's what they get paid for. They don't care if you love your job later. Do what is best for you in the long run. Don't fall to pressure to sign unless its the job you want. You may have to wait for a position to open, but it will be worth it years from now. |
Funny thing about Coast Guard (I know a little off topic since he is talking about Air Force) is that you don't pick your job before going into basic. You pick it later or something. I never joined but this is what they informed me before I was about to join. Coast Guard does things a little differently than the other branches.
