<human>: All right, I'll try not to bore anyone reading this with a lengthy story. I'm a sophomore at a state college in New England. My family is of average income for the Boston area; we aren't necessarily scrambling for loose change, to put it simply. I'm an Eagle Scout, have always had a passion for service, I'm very skilled in hands on work, and am poor when it comes to desk work and staying organized.

I had a principal nomination to the United States Military Academy coming out of high school (for those who don't know, it's an auto-acceptance). However, the department of defense had budget cuts, which in turn cut the class size down of the school, and I was in theory un-accepted.

Now I'm at a 4 year school university, currently studying business in my sophomore year. I do not like it. I have good friends, it's fun times, but I feel like I was born to do something else. I don't plan on ever having a job that requires a degree, although it's always good in case I change my mind and just to add to my resume. I got several big scholarships to this school, so the cost isn't a big concern of mine. It's just a couple thousand a year.

Ever since I didn't get into West Point, I've felt depressed. It doesn't help that I've had to save my brothers life from overdosing twice since then, watch my dad literally kill himself from an auto-immune disease, and lose several family members. My family is very stressed out due to these issues among several others, and it's heartbreaking for me that I can't help out.

My question is: whether I should stay at school, get my bachelor's degree (even though I plan on becoming a plumber, I do it for summer work and I love it) and not be truly happy, or should I drop out and enlist in the military (most likely Army), fulfill something which has also been a dream, put in "my time" BUT stress out my parents even further and risk injury?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Should I stay in college where I'm not truly happy/don't want to be here OR should I join the service and be truly happy, yet put further stress upon my already stressed family?
