Usually a few weeks before your certified time is scheduled to begin. If your certifying official didn't send your paperwork in when they were supposed to (at least 30 days out, up to 120 days max) then it might not arrive until ~whenever~. It will be a seperate deposit.

Hahahaha I had that poo poo happen to me last month, the dick of a thing. I can't even get angry any more because I just expect everything not to work. My school said to just fill it out, they can see it on their end (or something). I don't know whether it was a coincidence or something but less than a week after I filled out that poo poo and got a letter saying exactly what it needed to so maybe you will too.

Well there's your problem: You should've taken physics 2 at the same time as analog circuits.

My English 101 class is all kinds of crazy. Over the course of this class I've learned my teacher is diabetic but doesn't believe in using insulin because it isn't natural. Furthermore she's way into alternative medicine and brings it up nearly every day. The nurses (actual licensed nurses, which isn't much better than nursing students) back up her crazy with all sorts of dumb anecdotal evidence. The teacher one day made a point about Type One and a Half Diabetes being a very real, very rare, and very dangerous health condition. There's an old guy who I think only takes classes to have someone to talk to that every day hijacks discussion to bring up inane poo poo. His crazy involves being sixty years old and still living with his mother, like Chevy Chase from community without the wealth or humor or being Chevy Chase. Today we had a brief discussion about chemtrails. Not in name, just the teacher pointing out the window in the general direction of a vapor trail and calling it, "All that poo poo in the air." Apparently the chemicals in the air make her sick every day and makes it so she can't breathe at night. There's more crazy if anyone wants to hear more about it.

She's been hospitalized several times for nearly dying but still thinks she's in perfectly good health and that her way of dealing with diabetes is better than what "modern medicine" and the American Diabetes Association would have you believe.

I don't mind saying it's a community college north of Seattle.

One portion of the class involved reading a book about food and health, because as a diabetic my teacher cares greatly about eating healthy. Not a big deal, right? Well, the book has a number of essays with titles like, "Monsanto's Harvest of Fear" and "Soy Imperialism". Of course, those are the essays that we read in the class. Predictably, they're also the source of a lot of continuing fear-mongering over GMOs, chemicals, toxins, and whether or not something is "natural". Hardly a day goes by now that we don't hear something about Monsanto being evil. As for the soy imperialism, well, there was a lot of correlation being causation that makes my teacher think that soy causes all kinds of diseases and impairs development. I'm still waiting to find out whether or not vaccines cause autism.

I have to dig through my chat log with my brother because there was a whole bunch of crazy yesterday that I want to get right.

Eh, that's not really the case. I know a bunch of guys with STEM bachelors that use their degrees and do pretty well. Most of them are contractors, electricians for building companies and tech writers, though

This Fall is my second-to-last semester for my bachelor's. Looking into grad school options, current top pick is UT Austin (if they'll take me).

This semester: Senior Design 1, Embedded Operating Systems, Embedded Computing, Signals and Systems, and Intro to Malware Reverse Engineering (for fun)

Yeah, you won't see much over 60k without a Masters level right now. The most successful guy I know with a STEM Bachelors and nothing higher is a guy who owns his own used car lot, but to be fair he's used his statistics degree with some serious efficacy to make it work

Voc Rehab is generally done by goal, rather than by months. I mean yeah they track it by months but it's not like that generally.

If you wanted to do grad school, you could apply for voc rehab, get on it (with the goal of grad school) and collect your Post 9/11 BAH for the whole duration. Once you graduate, you're spent.

You get two months extra of subsistence allowance after graduation. They also help with job placement.
