Join the military?

Are you able to go to college?
No. Slave away years? Bad idea.
Depends what you want to do.
I know a lot of people who join the Air Force or Navy as mechanics, then get discharged to work as civilians for mechanics for airplanes and make a shitload of money.
As far as like joining the Marines or Army? It seems pretty stupid if you ask me. You have to be in those services for a number of years before you're able to reap any of the benefits (I.E. the military paying for your college, and even then it's extremely restrictive). You can get GI bills and extra pay from being in the reserves or whatever, but I'm pretty sure there's lots of requirements you have to fulfill. Everyone I've known that's been in the reserves ends up leaving and advises everyone else to not even bother.
You'll be surrounded by predominantly all the dredges of society who weren't smart enough to find a better path in life. Not shitting on the entire military. That's lots of competent, extremely intelligent people in the service, but there's also A LOT of dumb fucks.
My advise to you OP would be to figure out what exactly it is you want to do in life and if you think the military would be able to assist you in doing that.

It's either gonna be the best decision of your life or you're going to hate every day and count down until your contract runs out. It's all depending on your job.

Not if you want to make a difference. The US military hasn't fought for anything other than corperate interests in decades. Our freedoms haven't been attacked by anyone, neither has the civilain populace (9/11 was in essence corperate warfare since OBL was pissed about corperate expansion) since WWII, and that's only counting the shitty japanese baloon bombs. If you want to serve, join the peace corps.
OP, at least reply and give us some broader context.
