App13 posted:With your veteran status I recommend looking into USGS/EPA technician positions. The starting pay is the same as private sector (crappy) but the quality of life is way higher and you have more room to grow. Doh missed a paper draft due date. Today is day 2 of radio silence for the request for an extension I sent to the prof. Guess I'll have to prostrate myself during office hours to pull this one out

Nick Soapdish posted:The professor for research methods class gave very detailed notes on my paper and I was just so over it because I wrote the second half in a hurried scotch fueled haze. I didn't really care that she gave me a 89 on it. I'm writing a comparative law paperthats intended to highlight the difference between the American investigatory process and the Argentinian process as a consequence of our different systems of law. I turned in poo poo but it's a draft and I had to switch topics 2 weeks ago because they don't have a system of evidence to speak of. So far the class has been pretty loose and I don't expect much grief for turning in 9 pages if analysis but who knows

Mr. Nice! posted:I worked a half day and only wrote 5 pages of stuff. Tomorrow morning I'll be drafting a lot more. Oh I know, the PDs office has a motions bank that I've made liberal use of in the past and will again this summer. I don't mind writing If it has a purpose, but just doing analysis for the sake of analysis has finally become quite unpleasant for me. If I was getting paid to do this poo poo that would be one thing. Doing it during my loving free time is something else entirely. I used to write after having a couple drinks and maybe taking a study aid, but now adays at my advanced age I don't really think such shortcuts are prudent.

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:y’all floating around 12 units/credit hours a semester or what? I always see people go for 15 or even 18+ and I’m like, uh, there’s a reason not many do that. Then they’re miserable and often get bad grades. Doesn’t seem so lucrative in the end. I think I was taking around 15 a semester for undergrad. For Lawschool it's supposed to be ~13 a semester and for my last year I'll be doing 16 a semester because I'm a lazy slackass.

Ken Bone Comeback posted:I have an undergrad geology degree from a big research university now. Final overall GPA is 2.5. It seems from the job ads that I have just spent 4 years loving my life up. I don't know why I came here. I'm going to empty some CDs to buy a car this week so I can try to find work. I've been looking at retarded clickbait lists of affordable cities for recent grads. One recommended Denver, Seattle, and San Diego lmao There is plenty of work you can get outside your field while you look for a real job placement. You in town still? We could hang. I don't have PMs but my email is in my profile. Also your GPA is not the end all be all selector for success that people in academia make it out to be. It is a means of differentiating between similar applicants but there is way more than one way to skin a cat and there are tons of ways into a desired job field that don't necessarily follow the typical 4 year college degree -> entry level position and beyond. You have the degree. There are ways to find work that might not be readily apparent to you but that's the entire reason schools dedicate so many resources to career counselors.

45 ACP CURES NAZIS posted:I changed majors and exhausted my post 9/11 GI bill does that mean I can use the Montgomery GI bill? You can try to switch to Voc Rehab if you have a VA disability rating of 20% or above (10 if you have a serious workplace hinderance). That gives you an automatic 12 month extension and the possibility of additional time if your case worker determines it is necessary

Law school loving sucks because you don't get your summers off, as it is expected that you will sign up for some internship where you work all summer minus a couple months, so ultimately it's three years of continuous legal work / education with only ~20 days off inbetween semesters and a week vacation for spring break and thanksgiving.

Queen Combat posted:Just got letters from the VA stating my GI bill housing allowance has been 131.70 too much per month since starting school, and they expect payment back. States that in January 2018 the rate changed to be BAH rate instead of GI bill rate per zip code, but "oops our bad" we paid you the GI bill rate even after the regulation changed. You should talk to someone from a VSO about ways to appeal cuz that sounds like some bullshit, particularly if you are dependent on BAH to pay for your housing.

I think you can use them for whatever degree you want, you don't have to go for ascending levels of accreditation. I don't have anything to cite for this but I do recall having a conversation with a VA educational rep when I was considering getting my Thomas Edison Nuclear Engineering Technology Degree that it wouldn't effect my eligibility for a real degree.

I was already pretty checked out but now really dgaf. The lawschool has switched to pass/fail so I'm gonna be phoning it in pretty hard. I'm one of the lucky ones who already has a job - a lot of my cohort were in the midst of a job search when all this started and are royally hosed.

Yeah I'd just reach out to your veterans services office or whoever your school's certifying official for an update on what is going on. If you are using Voc Rehab then you would reach out to your counselor.
