<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

Background: 

I am a recently graduated medical doctor in a third-world Arab country. My pay is basically nil. I am not exaggerating . As an intern, I get paid the equivalent of 40 US dollars a month. Yes, 40.

Next year, I will start my residency. In my country, at that age, all males must serve a 2-year military service, which is virtually unpaid (same pay as internship, give or take). It will prevent me from earning, and learning, as it will take me away from my residency, where I receive my training. And in peace time, army doctors usually spend time on a desk filling paperwork about the supplies of the unit pharmacy.

One way around this is to accept a scholarship to do a masters abroad (I'm thinking Australia or NZ). This is legal. I can get my military service deferred for a few years, that way. 

If I stay out of the country for  a couple of years after the end of that deferment, I can pay a fine, and I don't have to do the military service anymore. It drops off at age 30.

Is this unethical? It feels like I'm not fulfilling a national duty, but in the meantime the alternative is 2 years of slave-work and no pay, and living with my parents in a country which is going through shit (the arab spring thing), while I could be doing a masters in a respectable university, and possibly start a career.
<bot>: Is it unethical for me to evade compulsory military service where I virtually don't get paid, to study for a masters degree abroad? Am I deserting my country in need? Please advise.
