During his six-year tenure, Carey developed physically and mentally and gained self-assurance and direction. In 1980, while visiting his brother Neal in San Diego, Carey signed himself up for the Marine Corps Reserve, believing the armed forces would provide the structure he had been craving. Knowing he needed to work through his emotional problems, Carey returned home to Cleveland - his brother Roger paid for the ticket - and voraciously consumed self-help books. In his early 20s, he attempted suicide again. As he traveled across the country and tried his luck, his depression worsened. He eventually dropped out of college with the aim of pursuing a career as a stand-up comedian. By his junior year, Carey had attempted suicide at least once and had been expelled twice from Kent State. However, Carey had difficulty with focus - he couldn’t decide on a major and still battled depression.

When the school day was done, he entertained himself with humor books, recordings of comedians and cartoons, and spent time with friends such as David Lawrence. Since there was a large age gap between Carey and his older brothers, the solitary, depressed boy was often left to his own devices.
