Good Morning Alfie, regarding your question, it depends on your own individual needs and wants. The Infantry will lay you a solid foundation for discipline, fitness and other great qualities. As far as possible job opportunities after leaving is dependant on how far you go in your career and which paths you choose to take. For instance if you promote you can gain qualifications in management, you may be able to get other qualifications throughout a career in the Infantry too that can help you in future, however, I would ask someone in the Infantry to get the specifics. However if you wanted to go in to a trade after leaving such as mechanic, electrician etc I would look in to other cap badges as these would fit what your looking for better. Hope this helps.
