I'm not a military veteran but a conscript in my country that till this day I'm still serving my nation. I remember it is quite a tough transition from military to civilian life when I got out from mandatory service.

Therefore understanding that you had spend almost 20 years in service. I really applaud that you had started on this path. My suggestion is to keep focus on being consistent in your learning.

Do note that what you're studying in University is just the fundamental. Like how a enlistee is going through bootcamp to be instill the fundamentals of being a soldier for their country.

In the real world this is totally different, once you had graduated from your university. You can pursue and train yourself in different specialisation to fulfil in different roles in the organisation. I believe your in the right place. I wish you all the best and good luck in your journey.
