I served in the US Army Reserves for 10 years. I joined partly to earn extra cash during college, and also to serve my country.
I could have made much more working a normal civilian job, so money was definitely not the only reason.
I left when Clinton was President-elect, because I didn't feel like I was serving a purpose anymore. If 9/11 had happened by then, I wouldn't have left.
In my experience, many people join the military because it is their best job option, but they are a minority. There are many more that join to serve their country.
Btw, this is a local problem. In some areas, the military is a way out - of a town with a dead economy. In other areas, not so much.
