NG SF and VA Disability

So this is where Im at: 30y/o, 12years AD, currently on a try 1 NG contract, VA rated me 90%.

I was honest about my injuries, was really only expecting like 50% at the most. Idk how the math works but they gave me 20% for both my shoulders for a jump injury and then 10% for everything else and that ended up being 90%?

Regardless Im interested in going SF. My question is, are the injuries themselves the disqualifying factor or is it the total rating percentage?

And a follow up to that would be is my rating at risk if I do submit a packet? I dont care if I lose the rating if I am successful but obviously I dont want to have it taken away just for asking to go.

And to clarify that comes from the difficulty Ive had finding a job since ETSing from AD not just wanting to keep the money. Since February Ive submitted legitimately over 400 applications and only received one interview; so the VA is basically keeping me afloat at this point while I figure that out.

Struggling to find a job

I just recently got out of the Army. Im currently in EMT school which is from 9-1pm T/W/T.
I cannot seem to find someone to hire me.

Ive applied to all kinds of different stuff on linkedin, indeed, glassdoor, google: target, starbucks, basically every gun range in orlando, AMC, swim instructor, dunkin, fox tail, security, amazon, etc.

I either never hear back or get denied. Only places Ive actually gotten an interview with were AMC and a security company but got ghosted by AMC after and I dont have a D license for security.

Any tips on where to look? All my military experience is basically irrelevant because its all Intel or Infantry.
