Reply #20: I ended up joining the military due to employment issues. [View All]

The military REALLY sucks balls though, so I suggest you avoid it unless you get desperate. It's kind of like going back to high school. It's nothing but politics and infighting among cliques. But the pay and benefits are actually pretty decent. I was able to support myself and my wife making E-3/4 pay by myself. They give you a roof over your head and make sure you don't starve to death. If you just want a break from life I'd go in for a job as a cook or something else. I went nuclear... it's hellish, 85 hour work weeks are commonm and I had freinds working 100+ hrs a week.
