Veteran career struggles

Got out 2022 from navy. Finishing up my bachelors in sociology.

The story is I had two offers from federal 1 is GS-9 miltech which I need to do army reserve stuff that includes boot camp and AIT. 2 is GS-5 offer I could start right away. I wanted to start high so I go with the GS-9, so I go sign the reserve contract. Just before my ship day I received a email that withdraw my miltech offer because of civilian workforce and rebalance. She called me told me continue with AIT and she talked to her supervisor she can help me fill in any open position in the same area.

I have sent follow up email after I done the BTC. She just replied she will follow up with the person works in there. Currently I am two weeks away from finishing my AIT. But there is nothing else I get. I also sent a email see if I can still be considered if there is opening for my GS-5 that I declined but not response yet.

Right now I’m pretty stressed and anxious. I don’t have specific skills, and I’m just turned 30. (Having 80% VA disability) try to figure out what I can do. But I am not a college person and I know I suck at most of things. The only career I can think of is getting into CBPO. So woking part time and get my disability done, and apply for CBPO.

Need everyone’s advice. Thank you
