Advice for my long-term strategy (please)

I’m looking for some advice on my long-term plan to enter the European Union ecosystem. My main goal is to become an EU official, maybe in the field of defense or crisis management.
During my Bachelor's degree in Italy, I didn't have clear ideas yet, and because I put in less effort, I graduated with a GPA of 27/30. For this reason, I cannot apply for a two-year Master's degree at Sciences Po Paris, as they have a strict cutoff for Italian grades that I do not reach (28.5/30).
To get around this problem, I have come up with a plan to improve my profile. Next year, I will participate in a year of volunteering in France through the ESC, which I will also use to improve my French language skills up to a C1 level.
After that, my plan is to apply for a two-year Master's degree at a university in Paris, like the Sorbonne or Assas, and do my best to achieve top grades there, in order to overshadow my Bachelor's degree results. Finally, I am considering the idea of the College of Europe after the master's.
Lately, I’ve been reading many comments online saying that Brussels is full of people with a general European studies degree and that it is very difficult to find an internship if you don't have a specific expertise right from the start. This has made me fear a bit that my plan might be too simple.I would really love to hear anyone's opinion regarding this program of mine for the next few years.

Salve a tutti, tra poco riceverò 30k di eredità da uno zio e avrei bisogno gentilmente di qualche consiglio. Oltre a seguire tutti i video del prof coletti, volevo esporvi la mia situazione economica per capire se ci fosse qualche consiglio o scelta più adatta a me. In questo momento ho 22 anni, studio e ho da parte circa 10k. Vivo ancora con i miei genitori e stiamo bene finanziariamente parlando. Visto che sono coperto in caso di emergenze e spese future, pensavo di investire l’intera somma in azionario, magari VWCE. Ha senso? considerate che sono abbastanza ignorante in materia quindi qualsiasi consiglio, anche il più scontato, sarà ben accetto.

P.S aggiungo un paio d’informazioni fondamentali che mi sono dimenticato di menzionare. Non ho in programma mutui, come dicevo stiamo bene finanziariamente e abbiamo un appartamento in affitto che in futuro verrà occupato da me. Non ho neanche grandi spese future che non possano essere già coperte dai 10k(e da future entrate per lavoretti). Sarebbero soldi che non toccherei per tanti anni.

Per quanto riguarda la mia possibile reazione per crolli del mercato non saprei rispondere, sicuramente il fatto di non averne necessità immediata mi farebbe stare più tranquillo su una ripresa futura del mercato.
