Military?!If you're black that's an automatic lifelong L
Besides if you're gonna be a murderous thief you should just go out and start killing and taking shyt for yourself - fukk uncle sam (really private corporate/banking interests). Cut the middleman out and keep the bread for yourself

3rd year in college and just changed my major from Accounting back to Computer Science so I might be staying a little longer.
Interests are mainly sports and video games here and there.

You've made it three years, you probably have two years left MAX so you should at least try to finish school. However, it is okay to explore your options. Just don't make any rash decision. Work through an actual plan this semester (5 year for both paths...staying in school versus quitting) and then decide after you've thought things through. If you finish the degree, you can still join the military and I think you would join as an officer (again, I thought about doing that when I was finishing college).
Of course I may be biased (I am a career student), but the real world is not all it's cracked up to be. I remember when I got my first job; me and everyone I knew who started working wished we were all back in college. I'm back in school now. Although sometimes I get tired of reading and writing papers, I wouldn't trade this academic lifestyle for anything but a lottery ticket (and I'd still probably stay in school if I won).
its MOS dependent
and honestly now is just a crappy time to enlist. the military is looking to kick people out more than bring them in - and the ones that are getting in are looking at NEVER getting promoted lol

I've considered this multiple times, but it's a pretty big commitment to make 
My nephew just graduated boot camp. I'm proud of how discliplined it made him. If you are at a point in your life where you have no direction, then it's a path to consider. Learn as much as you can so you can be more than a grunt when you get back to the real world.
My bro and nephew both went to the Army and it really set them straight. My brother did 11 years. Got out with a couple degrees and makes more money than me. He's at about 140k.

11 years for $140k? thats not good is it ?
140k/yr is good.
What kind of school do you go to? Is it a university? Because if you're at community college, then you sound like you're in a funk and you need a change.
If you're close to finishing, then grind it out and get that degree.
If you're not even close to finishing and you feel lost and like you're not going anywhere, you need to shake things up.
Go ahead and enlist, and work hard and take advantage like people here said. Hopefully you don't get assigned to infantry or something dangerous like that.
Hopefully you'll learn some discipline, gain some direction, see exotic locations, and come out with your school paid for and a new outlook on life.
Good luck.
