To join the military or not to join?

23year old female who went to UCLA for 2 years, but decided to not attend the school anymore because they wouldn't let me change my major and because my parents forced me into something I absolutely hated. Therefore, currently being independent and trying to decide whether to go back to community college to figure out what I would like to major in and what would make me happy.

Passions:
1. Lifeguarding, 4years
2. Counselor, 3 years (certified rape counselor as well as a rec. counselor for the girl scouts)
3. Creative Arts teacer, 1 year. (love comedy: improv and standup. Though this may seem irrelevent, my friend loved the creative arts, was a musician and actor, and went into the army and got a job as a multimedia illustrator and she loves her job)

Considering Air force national guard or coast guard reserve to help pay for school, as well as help people. But which do you think is better, getting your degree first and then join the military to help pay for the possibility of grad school, or to join the military now to pay for the rest of undergrad (2more years left and parents are willing to help pay for it, but they are in a difficult financial crisis situation and I'm trying to be all independent). Should I join the military now, or after I finish with my bachelor's and after I find out what I want? Also, will the military help me find out what I want to do?
