For recruiting?

I'm a Fedex driver and I notice there are never any ads or military recruiting offices in middle class, upper middle class, or rich neighborhoods

But all of the above are everywhere in poor neighborhoods

What gives?

I knew a few guys whose family had money that joined the marines when they were 18

Mainly because they didn't like college

Of course they do. I grew up in a poor, working class neighborhood and the only choices a majority of us had were join the military, work fast food, work retail, or find connections to people who can land you a somewhat decent job like airport security

The military actually pays pretty well. Its not a hard sell in low income areas.

They have recruiting offices all over, but individual recruiters are going to focus their efforts in areas where they are more likely to see more success.

Of course they do. They pay people to figure out how to get the best recruitment rates.

Poorer families and areas have less options for their future. College isnt an option for many. So yeah youd find more recruits in lower income areas.

Honestly the military can be a good path out of poverty for some people. Me and my best friend grew up on a dirt poor reservation in Minnesota. I went to college and eventually got a PhD and now work as a research professor in Japan. He joined the Navy and became a nuclear technician on submarine and is now working for a Japanese company that makes essential parts for semiconductor manufacturing. He never even got an undergrad degree, but he makes four times more than I do. I am not advising anyone to join the military (and he wouldn't either, he hates the US government and the military), but it is a path out of poverty for some people.

You already know, since you have asked me in multiple topics and then make up weird bullshit about me anyway. Palestine deserves to be a state, Israel's committing war crimes, the US is complicit for continuing to provide them aid, etc. I also don't support Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Houthis, or any other terrorist or right wing groups. I am opposed to war crimes, killing civilians, etc.

Feel free to ask me again in some other topic. Or just make up some bullshit. Your choice.
