There are many advantages of joining the U.S. Armed Forces. You will have the opportunity to receive the GI Bill which could provide over $40,000 towards your college education. You may have the opportunity to travel (in all branches, but especially the Navy). You may have the opportunity to learn technical, job-related skills such as computers, logistics, mechanical skills, etc. You will have the opportunity to test yourself physically and mentally. You may build lifelong friendships and a obtain a strong sense of belonging in an extremely large fraternity of veterans. Finally, although soldiers don't make much money, you will find that your needs are all provided for. Because of this, the military is a great way to save up some money.
On the other hand there are a few negatives as well. The military can be a lot of work, especially at first. The military can also be boring and frustrating (sometimes "being all that you can be involves a lot of sitting around and waiting). Most importantly, there is a chance that, as a soldier, you will be called upon to go into a combat situation where you could be put in a position where you could either die or have to kill another person. By joining the military you are saying (in a legally binding manner) that you are comfortable taking this risk. If you are comfortable taking that risk and you don't have any spectacular opposing offers, then the military is probably a very good choice for you.

Which will earn you more money in the long run going to college after high school and getting a degree before enlisting or enlisting right after high school with no degree?
It will be much better to pursue your degree first, and then your career both in terms of money, time, and effort. There are many things that can interfere with your obtaining the degree by postponing it. Believe me, get the degree first. In terms of enlisting in the armed services, having the degree will be beneficial in terms of promotions and thus rank.

Why high school student shouldn't be recruited by the military?
There is no reason realistically why a High School students should not be recruited for the military. High School seniors are the primary market for the military, colleges and the civilian job force. Under the "No Child Left Behind Act" signed by Former President Clinton it states that every public High School that receives either State or Federal Funding that they must allow College Recruiters and Military Recruiters on campus or the opportunity to speak with the students by either allowing them to conduct a presentation at the school or by releasing a list of students names and contact numbers or address's. Now it is up to the school on what information that they release but it has to be (by federal law) two of the following: Name, Address, Phone Number, Date of Birth, Educational Status. If a school alone declines to release that information to the Military they must decline to release that information to colleges, just as if a student or their parents signs the Information Op-Out form sent home by the schools, parents are opting out of release of their child's information being sent to both colleges and the military. If for some reason the High School denies access to the school by either releasing a High School list or by denying access to the campus the school could possibly lose any State or Federal Funding that they do receive. The whole purpose of Military Recruiters attending High Schools is one to find and locate those who have the intentions of enlisting while in High School and to disseminate information to those who may consider the military as an option after they have completed high school.
