Longer for me, first time I have to work a 6 day week. It's kinda depressing, but I'm managing to fight it off by thinking about the 4 day long weekend I'll get in exchange.

They definately do. But you'd be paid as a general service officer which isn't that good IMO. ( 45 K when you started and 80K after about 10 years)
The army has different pay scales for Doctors and Dentists who get paid the most. Followed by Lawyers and Pilots. Then everyone else gets paid General service officer, or Non commissioned member pay.
Whether you are Officer or NCM depends on whether you have a University degree or not.
As a rule there is more money to be made in the civillian world. Army just has pension time which some people like.

Shooting guns? True, sometimes. For you and me, probably 2 days a year.
Like I said, main advantage for most people is pension.
25 years after you started as a Non specialist officer you'd get a 50% pension of your best year of pay. So you could expect to be making 100K as an general service officer 25 years after you started if you worked and got promoted. Then you'd retire and get 50K a year for the rest of your life. The max pension is 70% your best year of pay, so if you worked 35 years, and say by that time made 110K you'd get an income of 77K the rest of your life, in addition to what other savings you had.
