How "SAFE" is engineering major or engineering job???

Not everyone is infantry. I know some people who went to Iraq and basically sat around in air conditioned tents all day long.

<p>Even the air-conditioned tents are subject to attack. </p>

There are a substantial number of military jobs with little to no risk of being shot at.

In fact, there are a substantial number of engineering jobs in the military that don’t involve you leaving the US at all.

</p>

<p>Yes, but are you guaranteed to get them? Not everybody in the military gets the job that they want. I rather doubt that anybody can join the military while specifically declaring that he will only work engineering jobs in the US and be guaranteed to get that.</p>
