You will VERY EASILY get a job.
The federal government doesn’t require a degree; it prefers experience, it actually requires experience regardless of education. You’ll receive 5 preference points for being a Veteran. File for Veteran Affairs (VA) Health benefits; and you can receive a rating for any service connected injuries, it just has to be documented and/or proven to be service connected. Along with monetary compensation from the VA, you’ll receive 10 preference point for Federal Jobs.
Federal Cyber Security positions are readily available and most are direct hire (circumvention most HR processes)
You’ll have to build up to a six figure federal government position, but you will not be struggling, especially if you receive a decent rating from the VA for your service connected injuries.
You can also easily work in the private sector, especially if you have or had a security clearance. Not only do they love veterans (our work ethic) they get tax credits for hiring veterans.
...and use the Post 9/11 GI Bill wisely to finish your degree. I was a full-time hybrid student completing my degree, which the VA pays 100% for school and Cost of Living Expenses in relationship to your college’s location. I was collecting over $2,500 COLA for the National Capitol Region (DMV).
I cannot stress this enough; Go to sick call (medical) whenever you sustain an injury, big or small; Get it documented!
You have a great future ahead of you.
