I'm pro CC for people starting out because the professors are actually just hired to be teachers where a good chunk of your intro classes at a four year school will be taught by grad students. Florida also has rules that if you get an associates from a state CC you have auto acceptance into any state school. It doesn't mean your program of choice has to accept you, but if you get an AA from TCC you can go to FAMU, FSU, UF, UCF, etc. without worrying about the school itself accepting or rejecting you. I agree with vas that it's cheap enough you shouldn't waste GI bill on CC in most cases and instead should just work that part off with scholarships, grants, and loans since it's cheap enough and use GI bill on finishing your degree and any graduate work you might want to do.

Kawasaki Nun posted:Middle of the pack and public defenders office. Gonna get lit Middle of the pack is probably where you’ll end up rank wise. Maybe a little ahead. That’s not necessarily terrible, but you’re probably not going to end up in biglaw. Depending on the part of the country you end up in, expect starting salaries to be around $35-50k. Lawyer salaries are in the toilet and continue to drop. I have heard partners brag that they can pay entry levels less than some paralegals. What I’m saying is, it’s not too late to get a masters or a phd in an actual field where you can make money. If you don’t care about money and want to help people, likewise it’s much faster and lucrative to get a MSW or the like and go into public service. Faster degree and higher pay while actually doing something good for people and society.

I’m saying if your goal is to do good for humanity, you’ll probably be able to find work easier with that or another graduate degree aimed at charitable work. But yeah, i know i’m not going to deter you, but i’m still gonna try. You’ll be able to get a job just by virtue of being a vet in the right state. Hope it works out for you.

The issue is you went from full time (12 hours or more) to 10 hours. If you went from 15-12 it wouldn’t have changed anything. Since you dropped to 10 you’re no longer a full time student.

UP THE BUM NO BABY posted:The veteran education office at my school just emailed me saying they're adjusting the amount of FAFSA/WAFSA grant money I'll be receiving this year because of my Chapter 31 benefits. I thought I was entitled to the full amount of FAFSA because my veteran education benefits are a tax-free entitlement. Am I misunderstanding something here? They’re reducing grants you might get because you already have a full scholarship. It’s not because of your bah payments. Not meaning that’s correct of them to do, but that’s why.

FL veteran preference doesn't apply to any "exempt" jobs which conveniently includes lawyers. People don't want to hire the entry level person 10 years older than the rest of the applicants, though, regardless of veteran status.

all exams are open book/open notes, right? If not, sucks to be you. Also, you’re the dumbass that went to law school. You have no one but yourself to blame. Fun note, they went over a bunch of stats in my practicing with professionalism CLE. (CLEs are continuing education credits mandatory for lawyers) 1 in 3 lawyers will suffer from some form of work caused mental illness. 1 in 3 lawyers have a substance abuse problem. Lawyers have one of the highest rates of suicide of any professional group.

Terrible Robot posted:I used to hate algebraic math and stuff. I did great with geometry and even trig but algebra/calculus hosed my rear end up, until I went to tech school and learned how to apply those concepts to engine/chassis design. Then it just kinda clicked. I still suck at math without computer aid but I at least understand it enough to get by. I think a big part of what fucks people up with math is going from heavy calculation based things like learning basic algebra and then stepping into high concept things like calculus. Calculus is made easier to express with modern algebra, but at its roots, it is conceptual more than computational. Once you understand the core you can use it to make calculations, but that's not what calculus is all about. Remember, Archimedes figured out a lot of the core concepts of calculus in greece almost 2500 years ago without a simple number system or a concept of zero. Modern calculus is taught mostly with brute force and rote memorization, though, so you skip past a lot of the core understanding. Our number system does make it much easier to express concepts, however I think we'd benefit a lot of people if we started teaching calculus concepts first before their application. Applied calculus should be the place where you just get taught "here's how to use these formulas." I think calculus should have a more pure math background to get to the basics before you start getting into things. But yeah, calculus makes a lot of sense when you are using it in physics or real world applications and actually applying the concepts you've learned.

There were three summer semester terms. Two half summer terms and a full summer one. Took some full summer, some first half, and some second half at the same time. I did 3/4 of an undergrad plus extra stuff the navy required in less than two years. I’ll have to check exactly what I did on my transcript, but I was busy in summer 09.

Pulled up my transcript. I can't for the life of me remember what it was, but I had one 6 hour seminar class, calc II (4 hours), physics II (5 hours counting lab), and stats. Stats was a joke class, but physics II and calc II in a summer was no joke. I made the dean's list that semester surprisingly. This hefty summer load, though, made fall/spring of my final year a joke.

Cojawfee posted:My school is really pissing me off. They have all these ads about being the largest community college in the area, but across all the campuses, there is one in person linear algebra class, and it is at the exact same time and a different campus from the one electrical circuits class they offer. I need to take both this semester. I guess I lucked out in that there are two differential equations classes. One is in the morning, and one is also at the same time as the circuits class and just before the linear algebra class. In their example degree plan, they have all three of these classes in the same semester, so why the gently caress would they schedule them at the same times? I could technically do the two math classes online but I know I won't keep up with an online class, and I don't want to get behind in two advanced calculus classes. There is a second electrical circuits class at a time that works for me and is even at my local campus, but it is closed. I emailed the professor who also happens to be in charge of the engineering department at my campus but he hasn't replied and I'm not sure who else to ask about this. It's super loving annoying that they do this. Everything was fine until they were required to add another day to each semester, and instead they just added five minutes to each class, which hosed up all the scheduling so classes start at like 10:05 or 11:20. If I can't take this circuits class, that means I only have 6 hours next semester, so no BAH money. gently caress. Talk to the profs and they will probably work with you on timing and such. Also your school only offers one or two class sections of higher level classes because very few people sign up for them. You're talking about classes that are normally handled after you transfer to a four year school.

Cojawfee posted:I get why they only offer a couple of classes. They are at weird times and I don't really mind all that much. I just don't get why they all have to be at the same exact weird times. I signed up for the two math classes and they are even in the same room right after each other, so that works out just fine. I just wish they would have scheduled the circuits class at literally any other time. The profs themselves either set the times or if they're adjuncts someone in the department just sets them. I've known some professors that have exclusive 8am and followon period classes because they personally wake up early and I've also known some that do not ever have a class before noon. Basically, it just sucks for students in your unique situation. That's not a common problem for people at a community college as they're usually just there for freshman comp I&II and remedial math.

Another thing to think about, veterans preference doesn't actually exist for lawyer jobs. In Florida, veterans preference is statutory for all non-exempt employees. In the exemption statute there is a blanket "officers of the court" to flat say there is no required preference for vets. For federal jobs, all attorney jobs are in the excepted service and, as such, do not have codified veterans preference requirements. Unless you are at a t14 law school and don't mind hating your life for 5-10 years grinding in biglaw hell, you aren't going to make any money as an attorney. Not to mention that it's a miserable career full of constant adversary. You're fighting with someone every single day because you're in the middle of a dispute between two other people. It is a thankless job, and many of your victories will be bittersweet at best. in sum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs-UEqJ85KE
