Go with what you like to do. The money will take care of itself, and once you get into your civilian career the social aspects will fall into line too.
Getting involved in your work will take your mind off of the emptiness we feel during the transition into the civilian world, and your co-workers will be a major part of your new social life.
Good luck, and soldier on!

Go trucking for a while, see the country. Being on the road gives a guy time to think and ponder things. May help get you the answer you want.

SPC Perez,
Due to the current job situation many positions above a 'staff' level will require at least a Bachelor's Degree. Many online options and CLEP programs available.
Research FEMA-Emergency Management Certificates, numerous on line & free classes. Or you may attend onsite to get a degree in EM. Programs are very interesting and marketable.
If you decide to get your CDL, explore the country, experience the 'white line fever'. On the open roads you will have time to accomplish deep thinking and soul searching. Being an over the road truck driver is stressful, isolating, lonely & dangerous.
Don't be so harsh on yourself. Find some solitude by working out, walking on a beach to clear your head and hopefully you may think of industry that you have not thought of yet. Just remember you must apply your current skill set, determination, motivation and core values in whatever you do. Do NOT take any job just for the money, will not buy you happiness.
Many PD require at least 60 credits toward a degree.
Dig deep into yourself, seek clarity and you will find a passion in what you REALLY want to do.
Best Wishes!
Aim High!
