I applied for the Peace Corps....and was offered a position to teach IT in Eastern Europe, but I turned it down. (in the time between acceptance and when I was to ship, I got a job that paid me well....at the time.)
It was probably a foolish thing to turn it down. It would have only been 2 years, would have experienced some cool culture, and it would have opened mega doors for grad school (preferential admittance/scholarships for some heavy-hitting schools) as well as having a leg up for a government job.
Of course, the military would definitely be an awesome, thing too...if that fits your personality.
