You could pull the starter off and bench test it, but it's not very likely that it's the starter. It seems the problem is probably in one of your battery cables. When you jump start it, what happens if you move the negative jumper cable to a chassis or engine ground (like the alternator bracket)?
Probably a dumb question, but are your terminals tightened down on the battery?

well then something is draining your battery. Unless of course you haven't started it in awhile.. but even then you should be able to jump it and it hold a charge.

I'm glad you mentioned that and I believe you're probably right I'm going to check my alternator tomorrow
