Im finishing up my 1st semester in college, and I just feel like its not talking me anywhere. Im thinking about taking a break from college now and enlisting in the Air Force. I feel this way due to the fact that if I wait to long im not going to get the "mos" I want. Should I just stick it out and get my degree or should i just Enlist. Im 19 turning 20 in a few months. If I wait till I get my degree i'll be 22 is that to late to Enlist?

Well, im in the same position as you. I am joining the army and want to go to college. Im going to take a break from college, join the army, and then go back to college after i get back from basic and AIT. it would probably be smarter to go to college first so you could go in as an officer. but i wasn't mentally ready for college and my senior year in high school was way too easy.... so im hoping after basic training and AIT, i will have my mind in the right place so that i can finish college. Good luck with whatever you choose.
Think about this -
You were probably pressured into going to college and then it turned out to be something different than what you perceived.
What makes you think the USAF will be any different?
And no, manning conditions will be different from right now to the time you get out. You don't have a magic crystal ball that will tell you these things and neither does anyone else. You can look at the current manning levels and the incentive bonuses. But chances are if they're high then they will come down soon, but then again maybe not. Don't base your decisions on what "might" happen later because nobody knows. It's like trying to time the stock market. You can't.
Either research some more or be prepared to stick to your guns!
And no, 22 is not too late to enlist or go OCS.
