jfreaksho Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I just got an acceptance letter in a cyber security graduate program. It's a one-year certificate program that will get me a huge jump on a better job. My wife got her dream job and we moved a year and a half ago. I've been working crap jobs since then, and I'm happy to get out of that. My veteran's education benefits are enough that I won't have to work while going to school full-time, so I get to focus on my studies and working out with minimal distractions. 3 Quote Searching the world for a cure for my wanderlust.

hwrdfrnd Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Congrats, I get so jealous that I used most of my GI Bill on the old system, though I still have 9 months of post 9-11 GI bill to use and no idea what to do with them. 1 Quote Hwrdfrnd - Goblin AdventurerSTR 0 | DEX 0 | STA 0 | CON 0 | WIS 0 | CHA 0Current Challenge Link to comment
jfreaksho Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Congrats, I get so jealous that I used most of my GI Bill on the old system, though I still have 9 months of post 9-11 GI bill to use and no idea what to do with them. I used most of mine after I got mobilized the first time (Reservist), so I got more than others at the time, but nothing close to what the active duty GI Bill is. Now I think I have more post-9/11 than I will use in this program. If you can find a 1-year graduate certificate program like mine, or even something fun like flight school or underwater welding you can use GI Bill for that. 1 Quote Searching the world for a cure for my wanderlust.

hwrdfrnd Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I have always wanted to learn to weld, not for a career but just for personal interests... 1 Quote Hwrdfrnd - Goblin AdventurerSTR 0 | DEX 0 | STA 0 | CON 0 | WIS 0 | CHA 0Current Challenge Link to comment
Taijibum Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Congratulations! I have another year until grad school, so hearing others getting in makes me hopeful! Kudos on the vet benefits, too. I had some post-911, but they ran out. Quote We do not rise to the level of our expectations in a fight. We fall to the level of our training. Link to comment

jfreaksho Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Also, I just got an interview scheduled for a position I would very much like. I now have multiple organizations looking closely at me, but since they are all government positions it'll be quite a while before I actually get an offer. If all goes well, I'll get my 1-year CyberSec certificate just before I start working for one of them. 1 Quote Searching the world for a cure for my wanderlust. Link to comment
