I am a soon-to-be 25 year old that is thinking about signing up with the Canadian Forces.
First, some basic info about my me:
I have a two-year college diploma in software development. In addition to programming and web design, the program included courses on computer hardware, repair and networking.
I have been working full time as a software developer for the last two years.
I also have two years worth of university credits towards a bachelors degree that I did not finish. I did not select a major yet, but my course load was leaning towards psychology.
I would appreciate some advise or recommendations on a few things:
1. What military position would my current skill set be the most valuable?
I was thinking 'Land Communications and Information Systems Technician', 'Signal Operator', or 'Communication Research Operator'. Or maybe I should finish my degree and become an officer?
2. Would I qualify as being semi-skilled?
3. Would I qualify for a signing bonus?
4. What entry plan would you recommend for me?
5. After my training, how long can I expect to serve before earning the rank of Corporal?
