Business outlook
Pros
Without a doubt the money and the benefits, especially if you are an officer. I made great money and I got to travel frequently.
Cons
Long hours. Be prepared to literally become government property. The Navy literally takes over your life because they can. I mean, for the money they pay you and the stuff they give you (food, housing, healthcare) they will extract it from you in the form of time. As in your time is at their beck and call. But if you are the kind of person that values a steady job (especially in this economy) then the Navy is as steady as she gets.
