What's worse: Joining the Air Force or continuing for a Master's Degree?

After finishing my first Bachelor's I am undecided about staying to work with a company in the city while I do my Master's degree or joining the Air Force where I would also do my Master's degree but would move me away from the possibility of growing in a major company to make a lot of money.

At my age, middle twenties, I have come to realize that a job here in the city will pretty much pay a high salary and work enough years for a pension and simply take my life out of the ordinary whenever I have vacation. However, I wonder what it would be like in the Air Force (forget the other military branches): Will I travel? learn different kind of experiences? What is out there that can outrun the benefits of the city and corporate life? Will the Air Force offer the excitement and unstability that would make my life adventurous? I will I do there something where I can really contribute to humanity in general and not just to a group of millionaries under a firm to become richer?
