Combat veterans are pretty much consigned to security or police work, but there are lots of MOS where ppl train in civilian applicable jobs, from cooking to computer tech.
When I got out I went to the employment agency in New Orleans. They looked at my job experience, Radio Intercept Analyst, last duty station at National Security Agency with a Top Secret clearance. The woman gave me a paper with an address - didn't say who would be interested in hiring. When I stepped off the elevator in the downtown office bldg, there was the big logo in the hall - Central Intelligence Agency. Who Knew? I didn't get the job.
I got a job as a security guard and later as a police officer, which I was given extra points on the scoring for being a veteran.
Actually, I was better suited as an office worker, which after 30 years of working is what I am doing now. But the regimentation preps almost any serviceman for police work.
