Career experts, How much would you pay me?

So I am up laying on my couch this post Christmas Day. (Hope all of you had a Merry Christmas and enjoyed your family and there wasn't too much knuckle checking going on) And I got to thinking about my life post military. I have less than 3 years left and I want to see what's out there for me in the private sector.
Right now I currently hold a BS, 2 relevant certs, and a secret clearance. And I'm in the process of obtaining MS in Contracts & Acquisition..and hopefully DAU credentialing as well.
I don't think my portfolio is necessarily bad but I lack that WOW nonmilitary experience and that scares me a bit.
So my resume would look like this
6 years Army-working with munitions, and everyday clerical and administrative tasks
BS in Supply Chain/ MS in Acquisition
DAU, 2 relevant certs
Secret
What do you say?

Usajobs.gov. Get a job as a contracting officer with a federal agency. If you are good at it you will move up quickly.

Where is this from? I will tell you whether it’s worth the paper it’s printed on.

Sounds like you could start immediately as a pilot.
The boss would say ,” pick up that load of trash and pilot over there. “

There’s only one proper OT answer — $3.50/hour

If the army didn’t pay for your loans, RIP

6 years Army
So you spent more than one enlistment in the formalized welfare system known as the U.S. Army?

and a secret clearance
That's it? Why even mention it if you don't have a TS or SCI?
Talk to a prior service recruiter and see if you can join the Marines. Yes, you will have to go to recruit training (boot camp) but at least you won't ever have to wonder if you could've done it.
Also...what's your BS?

I say it’s still laughable how the military trains people for civilian jobs outside of working a federal or local government civilian job.
You don’t get paid a certain amount for your resume OP, your resume makes you qualified for positions with $x pay. Just because your resume says you are qualified doesn’t mean you will be hired. Then, from there the pay completely depends on the company and where it is. A job in Dallas, Saudi Arabia, and Louisiana could all be the same and have 3 completely different pay scales.

What do police officers make in your hometown?

Sounds like you’d be highly marketable in a logistics field working for the government, he’ll maybe in a Fortune 500 as well. Sometimes big employers just see that you checked the education requirement blocks, add a lot of them salivate over military experience. Additionally there are a lot of recruiting companies afforded to you who will advocate on your behalf. You’ll likely be better off than 3/4ths of the posters in this thread. Are you an officer?

If you are DAWIA level II or III certified in contracting you shouldnt have a hard time landing a DOD contracting officer (to be clear as a DOD civilian, not a contractor) job with either NAVFAC, USACE, or the like when you get out. Outside of DOD thats known as FAC-C level II and III.
I just saw a job the other day on usajobs for a GS-12 position within USACE as a contract specialist. Good luck.

Go work for a larger bank. Someone like USAA might see you as a very interesting candidate.
