There's actually a former US Navy Sonarman who has a youtube channel called Sub Brief and it's amazing. He left the service in 90s (IIRC) but he shares all kinds of interesting knowledge on how torpedos and mines work, all the dif

Lots of good suggestions here but one I’ll add is that maybe you should find a job working for a cause greater than yourself. There are a ton on nonprofits out there that are in desperate need of technical people to help them. My advice if
