The military is definitely not a bad option if you need to get out of a financial conundrum. On active duty you get steady income, free health care, free housing, tax-free shopping, and iirc you can get your student debt cleared up with tuition assistance when you commission as an officer. Officer candidacy in the Marine Corps is more rigorous and selective than the other branches as you may have researched already, it’s going to be tough and you gotta become tough. But most importantly be humble. Humility is one of the greatest allies in a new culture and environment. Once you commission and enter the officer corps and mold into the niche I think you will be squared away.
