For what it's worth, have you considered joining ROTC (assuming you are a US citizen)? If you still haven't figured out what you want to do, it's worth a serious thought because you'll build some amazing friendships and, at the very least, find what you're passionate about. It's not for everyone, and there is always the possibility you may have to deploy (for engineers, this is a very remote possibility; I can't recall any engineers being deployed, except for a volunteer who was working on a Kuwait project). But you will definitely learn a lot about yourself, and you will build camaraderie with your cadre. Oh yeah, your mornings will begin at 6am for PT... Caveat: an officer commitment with the Air Force will run four years (and you may be able to transfer to Reserve or Guard if you do figure you want to do something else), unless you decide to be a pilot, which your commitment will be 8-10 years. I realize HN is not the most pro-military group, and I strongly discourage any HN reader from enlisting (at a minimum, you should be an officer). But you do build lots of bonds as a servicemember. And if you're in AF or Navy, you're relatively out of harm's way; you probably have a higher chance of dying in Philadelphia at night (okay, maybe that's not the best example).
