paying for school questions

Uncle Sam's paying for my BSN right now (MGIB), and i'm thinking of letting him give me a $20k bonus to go back in when i graduate. There's no place else in the world where you'll make friends like the ones you meet in the military. And you're not gonna find a hospital that will give you 30 days paid vacation!

Thanks for the info but I'm 32 years old, starting a second career. I probably won't go the military route. Thanks again anyway. I was actually thinking of employers who are sympathetic to students who care about making good grades and need to make some income too.

someone should post a thread somewhere outlining all of the binnies you get as an officer in the armed forces. i think people would be really surprised. most people i know see the base pay and turn away, but when i start telling them about bah, baq, cola, comrats, seapay, family sep pay, AND ALL TAX FREE, they are stunned. i was BRINGING HOME $1300 every 2 weeks when i was stationed in san diego (imagine being paid MORE to live somewhere so awesome!) as an E5. as an O1, you could expect twice that much.

At 32 yrs old your still a young man! The Health Care profession is also my second career, and I started college when I was 32 yrs old. Plus, the Army Nurse Corps cut off age is 46 yrs old.

Oh my gosh your kidding! 46 years old! I am prior Air Force from many moons ago. I have often thought about joining the military again, but thought I was to old. I am in my last semester of an associates degree practical nursing program. Is there any information available online about this? I am 43 soon to be 44 and I would not mind finding out a little more about this opportunity.

Wow...I'd better act quickly. I turn 46 2 weeks before I graduate.
