Is there somewhere I can see a history of GI-bill related payments the VA has sent to me and a description of what they were for?

That's where I thought it should be, but can you provide me an idiot's guide to finding the info?

When I go to "login > Payment History > Display All", it tells me no payment information is available to display.

Yeah I'm waiting on the government to pay my school. So I can drop a class and sign up for another. And get my Pell Grant money. And my parking stuff.

Yeah, I had that problem for the longest time. It wasn't just payment info, it was goddamned everything.

I had to contact their helpdesk a couple times to get it fixed.

Does the number of credit hours I'm taking affect how fast benefit time is burned for Ch33? I tried asking my school's va rep, but they didnt understand what I was getting at. I've got one semester of time left and I need to stretch that over two semesters somehow.

The only thing that affects is whether it's full time or part time.

Full time and above burns one day for each day of the semester. So if the semester is 5 days it burns 5 days. If the semester is 127 days, if burns 127 days of benefits.

If you are part time, you'll use a prorated amount of benefits based on how many credits you are taking. I've only ever been full time so I don't know exactly how this is calculated, but someone explained it a few pages back.

Part time burns at a prorated amount for BAH but eats up a benefit day same as full time.

Always attend full time

Is anyone else going to school just to have something to do/kill time?

I'm medium hosed up to the point that I'm having to back off my studies a lot. I'm going from hard science/engineering to ??????? Poli-sci? History? Communication? At this point there's no end goal or job, I just need something to do. I'm at the point where I'm supposed to transfer to UW but I'm half fuckin retarded.

Business degrees are fine. Mine has served me well in IT. Did Marketing and Management. If you're in marketing you better be prepared to do sales or analysis of some kind.

If you're going to school to kill time history is incredible. I took three levels of art history, a couple world history classes, and an Asian history class. Fascinating stuff and very instructive imo. I hate school tho so the thought of going for fun makes me want to throw up.

Yeah, guess I'm a little biased as a foreigner. A STEM degree would give me a better chance at working in this country, and I only went into marketing because of the job offer that went out the window earlier this year, so I'm a little salty

I'm just looking for interesting. Going to school sounds like more fun than being put out to pasture. I just need something that doesn't have any stress. I'm looking for underwater basket weaving, just something to take up time.
I have decent grades, but the physical and mental toll has gotten to be too much to stay in STEM.

If you're just going for Business Management or Business Administration you should plan on getting an MBA to go with it. If you're going to do accounting you should plan on an MSA to go with it.

It's pretty easy to walk out of undergrad with a Business Management/Admin and Accounting dual major. I'm actually going to be doing it by accident.

An advertising degree with knowledge in JavaScript/HTML/CSS is a killer combo. Everyone wants to be Don Draper and those jobs don't happen in quantity.

Supply Chain Management and at the very least the basics of operations management should be early prerequisites in any business program.

It blew my mind when I met seniors that couldn't give a basic description of what supply chain meant, nor where the difference to value chain was, let alone basic concepts of process management.

Though, since we're talking about American students here, I also met seniors that had gone through those very classes and didn't have the first idea what the gently caress those terms meant. I had the pleasure of serving with graduating marketing majors that couldn't name 2 out of 4 P's in marketing.

The required health questionnaire and immunization records verification sheets are supposed to be signed by a doctor. Where do I get this poo poo signed? I'm already separated and obviously Tricare is no bueno.

See if your school has a medical clinic that can fit the bill. It should just be a simple antibody test if you don't have the paperwork handy.

My wife did it this way and they charged her 80 dollars and were done in 15 minutes after a walk in.

I mean, it's poo poo anyone with half a brain can figure out by themselves (what are you selling where, for how much, and how are you selling it?), but retarded-Rachel with her 2.4 GPA can't be bothered to even invest a thought in it, because she also couldn't be bothered to value her parents' investment into her education with more than a 2.4 GPA, and lol it doesn't matter if you don't have an answer, because you can just giggle and none of this matters, boy I hope tonight's party is lit.


And these fuckers have jobs while I'm dicking around in a crack-house's guest bedroom waiting to book a flight home, because uncle Sam won't hire foreign.

Okay, I'm gonna stop bitching now

I'm gonna need to work on my humility before going back to work in the normal world, because two and a half years in American business school gives you the impression you're the smartest motherfucker on the planet, when the reality is that 70% of college students here should have been flushed out of college for stupidity and laziness inside three semesters, but alas, education is a business

It teaches those business majors the most important lessons in business: how to rely on (mooch off of) people smarter than them in team situations and how to cheat. Unfortunately the Indians are spanking us in both these critical skill sets right now
