17. If you really, really, love boredom..
join up. You will spend most of your time with a bunch of other guys, equally bored, doing totally meaningless things, for really stupid bosses.

And, the ultimate horror, you may very well be called on to kill people that you don't know, have nothing against, and may even be sympathetic to. The purpose of the military, the only real purpose, despite all of the slogans, is to kill people. They will not enquire of you whether you think killing any particular people is right, or just, or if it may haunt you for the rest of your life. You will have NO choices in the matter.

Rather than play video games, pick up a few books.
