We have made great strides in making education available to veterans when they return home from overseas. Just a few 'minor' problems:
OK, so maybe they are not 'minor' problems. These are very serious issues that really need to be addressed if we are going to give our returning veteran the best shot at success. Here are my ideas:
I think if we can address these major issues facing returning veterans, we can drastically improve their chances for quality employment and would be bolstering the local economies with solid workers in fields they need. The key has always been working together. Let's see what happens.

Oh wow. I have a two year 4.0 in Business Administration from a local school. Once they determined they could make big bucks, they made an accredited degree program to accomadate veterans ONLY. I had already finished a work study program at my job so my benefits ran out before the school did but I saved the money and finished the degree. Anyway, in those days, the schools all were interested in seperating the vet from his GI Bill money and when he finished the mininimum amount of time and could not keep up, see ya and you lose....no refunds. I guess it was not any different than when my own kid went to school, 20K tuition including room and board and an if you did not have a 2.0 at the mid year see ya, no re-fund.

Dana, I agree with everything you said. The perspective that vocational training is for the dumb and uninspired is prevalent everywhere. That definitely doesn't help things.
