That is the hardest thing when making the choice. Everyone is happy with the way they went and no one wants to sell their way over another's (at least the decent blokes anyway!).

I am at the point in the decision process where I have spoken to lots of people and know the pros and cons of each but I am no closer to making a choice because the pros of one are the cons of another.

Eg; A Pro of the RAAF is the amazing/different flying QF's con is it's standard point to point flying.

A pro of QF is the stability in life and relative freedom and choice in career, a con of the RAAF is that in terms of career they own you much more.

A pro of the RAAF is that they offer great extra activities, such as adventure training sports etc. QF does not

BUT QF would give you more time to do things outside of work compared to the RAAF...

They seem to be opposites and cancel each other out
