Like, I spent all my 20s in the army.
Like, I didn't pop out the other side until I was in my 30s.
So, like, as I mentioned, I joined early and then I spent my 20s there.
Like, I could have been one of those retired uni students, you know.
I could have a nice, cushy government job now.
Yeah, yeah, or go to uni and just become a prime minister with no real-world experience, you know.
So, yeah, I tend to err on the side of get a trade.
If you still want to join after, what's a trade for?
five or six years now i don't know underpaid again um which i could go on with about why we have such a job shortage or an issue with housing crisis in this country but um yeah look get a trade if you still desperately want to do that after you get your trade fill your boots but there used to be this cool thing in the army where you could go and do a trade
yeah man and like and you know like they talk about all these incentives like i think dohas was one when i was going around there it's like defense homeowners scheme or something i can't remember what it is now but you get low interest loans um after a certain category fee like a certain time in you get like a low interest loan you can then go and buy your first home which is pretty much unattainable now anybody is paying attention to the economy and

There's more people than you know right behind you, myself included in my cohort and the brothers from out west and the brothers from New Zealand, bro.

You're an Aussie.
This is the first time I mentioned to you.
