What questions should I ask an Air Force recruiter?

This is going to be slightly long and personal so please bear with me. I’m considering joining the Air Force but am not entirely sure what questions to ask the recruiter. Here is a personal background, please help me decide if this is a good idea. I've already finished two years of college and have an 3.76 gpa. I am a Business Administration major and Political Science minor. I intended on entering the finance industry and working with investor relations in international markets. But when I entered college my parents would not spot my tuition so I had to and continue to. I actually was offered various non-paid internships but could not accept them because I needed finances to cover my expenses. Due to this I'm strongly realizing I'm never going to enter the finance industry or any bulge bracket firm upon graduation because I have no real experience. I have very strong economic and accounting skills, good not amazing quantitative, skills extensive knowledge about the political and economic environment in various nations including China, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Japan, many European nations (due to constantly reading news article and college projects). Not being allotted an opportunity to apply these skills the way I want I'm thinking I could join the Air Force (I'm fascinated by the technological innovations utilized in the Air Force through corporations such as Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman), serve our nation and see where that leads. But I'm thinking I can't possibly become an officer at this point and my majors are useless as I have no proven aeronautical or engineering skills. I'm also 18, entering my junior year not sure if that's important.
