What is state OCS?

like

Officer candidate school for National Guard. It is „part-time“, you do not go through the traditional course of three months, but it is 2 annual trainings for 2 weeks and one weekend a month for the duration of the program until you commission

Ya for sure

I've been looking at it but I hear the attrition rate is insanely high, to the point where I don't even know why some states run a part time program at all.

Interested in joining the Reserves, but I’m guessing that’s way too much with a consulting career? No ROTC or previous military experience so I’d have to go through OCS/OTS as well.
Or is it better to wait until I exit to industry and pursue my interest in the military then?
Any and all advice appreciated.

I recently left the Army about a year ago. Did a DoD SkillBridge fellowship and accepted the full time offer because I was scared of not having a paycheck. About a year later, still at the company and I hate it. Don’t feel purpose and I’m working with recent college grads as my peers. How do I get a job that takes advantage of my experience, whereas mine currently views me as starting over?
