Definitely don't sign on if you are only unsure of what you want
to do. It is a road of no return, if you regret signing on, there
is no turning back. Also even worse you have a tougher time later,
if i remember correctly there is an upper age limit too around 45
to 50 to which you can serve, after which you will be force to a
career change.
And at that time you will even be more unsure of what to do, for
those with good qualifications, they get high pay in Army, while
for those low ranking one, only enough to live by. So for them
after the end of their career in army they have capital to start a
new career, while for you, you will founder when the time
comes.
Think long and hard about what you really want and be brave to go
ahead. Don't just listen to your dad. If it is what you really
want, you must be prepare to bear all that must come, even if you
fail at what you choose, at least you tried, no regrets. What the
point of living a life you don't like, just plodding the way thru.
The main thing is do you have the courage to accept the
consequences of your choice.
