Back to School: A Quick Primer for Veterans

If you’re thinking about going back to school once you’re no longer on active duty, great. Earning a degree is one of the best ways to immediately boost your income. The Bureau of Labor Statistics explains that earning a master's degree may even net you an $80,000 per year wage premium over someone in a similar position that holds a bachelor’s degree.

Today, Herb Ammons offers insight on going back to school as a veteran so that you can take control of your finances and remove one worry from your life.

Why Should I Go Back to School?

That’s the burning question, isn’t it? Why go back? After all, you have experience and you are an obvious leader.

● You’re switching careers and need credentials

● You started school before, but now you want to finish

● You need specific training to go further in your current field
