Don't Throw Your College Money Away

May 21, 2008

Wow ... the transition. Let me tell you. It was twenty years ago. I thought my electronics training and night classes would be enough for success after a one hitch term in the late 80's.

Don't through your college money away. Yeah, I had a nice resume, some decent interviews, but it is pretty competitive out here. Don't get me wrong, most employers are pro-military hiring, but it took a BS in Chemistry to land a job. The promotions came through my military back-ground. Still to this day when I am sitting in the CEO's office, the talk is not about my college education, but about my military time some twenty years ago.

Take advantage of any military eligable money's for a post-military education. You won't regret it.
