was feelin the same way... stuck in a dead end job after high school but didn't know what exactly i wanted to do... i joined the army and got an awesome job that pays about 10x what i was making before i joined when i get out. sure the military bites while you're in, but the hands on experience on some things you'd never get to see in the real world more than makes up for it. just a thought... i'm lookin at possibly making close to 6 figures with no college at 25.
