Joining the military should be your absolute last resort...not even an option, really. Don't get caught up in the empty promises of what they'll give you. If you're willing to invest the time and effort, put it into furthering your education while you continuously search for a better job. Of course it's hard, especially these days, but it CAN be done. There ARE options out there, you just have to find them with patience and a little luck on your side. Don't give up on YOUR life by handing it over to the military.
