Should I join the Army?, or...?

Question

Basically I'm like most teenagers nowadays, I have no idea what to do or what my future holds for me. I am quite interested in joining the army but at the same time I'm interested in the making of video games (Coding, modeling ect). Don't be prejudice just because I'm interested in game development, I am by no means a slob, or whatever image you want to create in your head. I know what's expected in the army and understand it, but basically I just need a few...'pointers' because as I said earlier, I'm not sure what to do.

You posted on Yahoo Answers UK so I'll assume that's where you live. You could take a position in an IT environment during your commitment to the Army, and continue to develop your programming skills while you're in.

Electronic Warfare could land you a juicy civilian position upon completion of your military commitment. I'm not sure the name of the agency in the UK, but in the US the NSA (and in Canada CSE) hire EW Operators, as do civilian contractors.
