I thought so.I retired at 40, with a comprehensive healthcare policy that costs about as much per year as most people pay per month. If I use the VA. It's free. I get about $3000 per month in retirement and disability pay. I still have access to military installations, and can use facilities and services such as the PX, commissary, legal services, tax preparation, the gym and golf course among other things. I can fly space available on military aircraft.Now, to be sure, unless you have additional income, you probably won't be kicking back and living off the fat of the land. But, you have a safety net, and you can do what you want to do rather than what you have to do. My wife is also retired, with 100% disability. Our combined income means we're set. I also have my forever house, and I invested pretty well while I was on active duty. So, if you combine your retirement benefits with a little foresight (basically, don't spend all your money on liquor and vehicles) you can retire with a lot of security. The healthcare benefits alone are worth it.You want to know what's better than government provided healthcare? Government provided healthcare care in a for profit healthcare system. I got the best of both worlds!

The assumption is plain false. I will bring you labor force statistics from the US Department of Labor. May 2013 National Occupational Employment and Wage EstimatesThe myth comes because people compare the lowest paid of scientists with the highest paid of actors and then think there is a problem. When you compare the cream in one field and run of the mill in another field there will be discrepancies. They are not comparing apples to apples. Researchers like Patrick Soon-Shiong and Gordon Moore have networth higher than any actor. At the top scientists have greater fame, prestige and wealth. How many actors could have the kind of fame, power and wealth of Edison?And same at the bottom. The median earnings for actors is about $22/hr. The reason why the mean shows up high is because it is skewed by the top 1% actors. But, even that mean is lower than most categories of scientists.The median wages for most categories of scientists are well above $35/hr and there are far more jobs at that level. That is a lot of peanutsif you are a scientist. [I saw a couple of bad answers on this page with bull shit information on Stephen Hawking's earnings. At $20 million plus in net worth he is not poor - Stephen Hawking Net Worth]Scientists also often enjoy plenty of other non-wage benefits [better work environment, lower stress levels, steady flow of wages, paid vacation, retirement benefits/401k match] and have longer career spans [most actors would find it hard to sustain after 10-15 years]And this doesn't even include the fact that most people who want to become actors don't even end up in the tables above. The table is for people who have made it and made acting as a profession. The rest of the acting aspirants wait tables and do other menial jobs. On the other hand, most people who end up doing their graduate studies can get jobs better than waiting tables, even if they don't become career scientists.
