How about exploring and defining your talents first? Here is the link to Carl Jung's assessment (MBTI). There is a kind of vocational interpretation on the site - I have my own. Feel free to query me about the results - if you wish. hlstevens42@gmail.com

I was unable to find your profile on LinkedIn. I've added links and instructions describing how to set up a LinkedIn profile, and a link for freelance opportunities under this section of my EE webpage: http://eehot.com/ee.html#networking
I've also added links and instructions to my EE web page http://eehot.com/ee.html#jobs
to navigate the BLS.gov which lists employment and wage statistics by occupation.
Please look through that long list to find your target occupation.

There are also many job search links under that section of the EE webpage.
Search for jobs using the occupation name and your location.

Examine the job requirements and compare them to your current skills.
There are instructions for how to translate Military Occupation into civilian skill keywords,
under this section: http://eehot.com/ee.html#cool

Links to Training resources are listed under http://eehot.com/ee.html#training
