<p>I am a senior thinking about ROTC for financial and job security reasons. My questions are:</p>
<ol>
<li>What are the differences between army, navy, and air force ROTC?</li>
<li>If I am an engineering major, what will my approximate pay being coming out of college? (in other words, will my ROTC contract make me work for no $$?)</li>
<li>As an engineer, will I be able to work a 9-5 job in the US simply working for the army, or will I be deployed?</li>
<li>Will I be shipped to a lab somewhere, or do I get to choose the state where I work?</li>
<li>Can I still party while in ROTC?</li>
</ol>
<p>Any input you have is appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<li>You obviously commission into different branches. I believe with Navy ROTC that you have to take a basic calc and chem class or something like that.</li>
<li>Your degree won’t have an effect on how much you make. However certain positions have bonus/extra pay</li>
<li>Use google</li>

<li>don’t know</li>
<li>O-1</li>
<li>the military gets deployed abroad. Likely you would spend time both CONUS and OCONUS</li>
<li>from my understanding you get to “rank” locations, but ultimately the military issues you orders, and you follow them</li>
<li>yes</li>
