If you want to go to college but not sure for what yet, listen to PoorMansCamaro. His advice is good! However, I have ZERO regrets joining the AF. In fact, I miss it a lot.

I second this motion!!! I went out and worked about a year and a half after graduating then went into the Air Force. If you dont know whatcha wanna do when you grow up, the Air Force is a great place to go...you will learn a skill and will mature until you figure out what you wanna go to school for and then they will pay for your education! The Air Force paid for my associates, my bachelors and is now paying for my masters not to mention all the experience I am gaining just from my Air Force jobs! I have had the best experiences and have gotten to go to places I never dreamed of ever going!! All while my friends from back home hung around there and work dead-end jobs. Honestly, when I joined, I had no intention of making it a career, but it turned out to be the place for me and I can't believe I am on the cusp of 18 years of service already!! When I retire, I will still be young enough to have a second career and I will have no problems getting a high-paying job with all of my experience! If the Air Force is something you would seriously consider, give me a PM and I can offer you some advice.
