It's a trap man, don't do it.

Not in the military. Had a few friends and acquaintances join the service, and 4/5 of them regretted it. But they were enlisted, so their experiences may or may not be relevant.

They joined for similar reasons as you. I ended up asking them if though their time, they really discovered what they wanted to do in life, and again, most of them said 'no'. They said the military will gave you discipline and a broader perspective (take away your nagging first world problems), but at a severe cost of your sanity and individuality. You'll learn how to be punctual and do your duties, but they'll break you down, and it'll be like coming out of a trash compactor once you're done.

Things you may already know. Most NCOs and enlists will hate your guts for being the smarty pants guy in charge, who didn't have to get his hands dirty. Obviously, you'll no be paid as well as the civilian business world, but if you have any loans, then at least they'll repay them (it's sitll not a worthwhile trade off).

You're best of trying to connect with any current or former officers. Look up military forums/subreddits. They will be able to give you a more complete answer on whether it'll be worth it for you.

US Marine vet here. Go army SF, just don't join the Marines. Best thing I ever did, yet would not wish that fate on my worst enemy

If you work 40 hours a week and sleep 8 hours a night, that leaves you 72 hours a week to have a life in. Have your life there, and treat work as just the price you pay for the satisfactions you have elsewhere

Thank you all for your feedback. I think I need to try to at least find some things I enjoy outside of work before I make a decision.
