I ask as we sometimes see write-ups about how we earn more in the military with benefits, yet many people leave the service and make much more - and don't regret it at all! So I wonder, what does the mil-community believe about itself.

This varies widely and really depends on a great many factors that include a person's education/experience/qualifications; location and willingness to move for the right job, promotions, etc; ability to land the "right" job; and a great many more.

I'm sure I'll earn less when I leave. I won't be able to walk into a captain's position in an airline on day one, so I'll have to take a first officer's gig, wait a couple years, take a pay cut to upgrade to captain, then wait a couple more years before the civilian pay starts looking better than military pay.

At least you have a solid skill, and seem to know your way ahead. Best of luck when that day comes!
