This is the wrong approach. If you’re going to be successful long-term, you need to start with what sort of problems interest you - law, medicine, business- and go from there. You’re paid to solve those sorts of problems.
Next - where can I best learn the skills to solve those problems? Maybe it’s a top-ranked school or an innovative company. There’s Military Fellowships, the Hire our Heroes program, and all sorts of veteran blogs out there. Literally search veteran business blog or veteran admissions help and you’ll find all sorts of resources.

Life is too short to just plug in anywhere and not be happy with your choice

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
