The army, although it is a good idea, is really not what i want to do.
I suppose i could always have it as a last resort...
The thing is, you aren't stuck with it for life, unless the Military is very different in Scottland. After a brief Google search, you'd be able to leave after about 4 or 5 years of service.
That means you'd be in your early twenties, you'd have money, and you'd have experience in nearly any field you want! How is that not ideal?
that's 4 or 5 years I could spend doing a Masters Degree in something I want to do for the rest of my life. 4 or 5 years of service in the military is a waste of my time.
Well, again, I'm not sure how it is in Scotland, but the Military here (Canada) will pay for all schooling, or send you to a military University, where you get your education and come out an officer, serve 4 or 5 years, and have experience, money, rank, and an education.
And if 4 or 5 years of guaranteed food, shelter, and money is a waste of your time, what's the big plan without it then?
You came here asking for help, and beggars can't be choosers.
So you either have a place to live, and therefore don't need our help, or you have no place to live and in 4 or 5 years you'll be still working at burger king without a degree.
I'm honestly not trying to be rude, but if the situation is a severe as you say it is, then now is the time to think realistically. You need shelter (Rent), food, and education to 'do what you want', and money to do all of those things.
If you're out on the street, and the military isn't 'what you want to do', then what's the big plan?
