I do have student loans. Not an extreme amount that so many other unfortunately find themselves in, but still around the $25,000 range. I figured that would be one benefit to joining the reserves, as the secondary income would help with loans. But that isn't the main reason why I would be joining the reserves. It is more of a bonus on top of everything.
I always really liked the structure of the military and being able to understand your progression to higher ranks, as well as your role within the organization is refreshingly clear (I assume?). I am completely biased, though, having grown up on a military base for half of my life overseas.
I would lean heavily towards a job in the computer science realm since my current job is not in that realm.
