HadIt.com Elder rentalguy1 Posted September 21, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'd finish the degree, but why sweat the bar? I really wanna go back, too...but that's only cause I keep getting older and the freshman "body" stays the same 90%, TDIU P&T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted September 21, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 21, 2008 Let me finish mine up and the three of us can open a practice. Dewey, Cheatum and Howe. J A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect. A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder cowgirl Posted September 21, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 21, 2008 Has jumped a few bars in my time...um, on horseback? Go ahead Larry, why not? I believe adult learners work harder in school cause they're the ones footing the bill probably. Heard that getting licensed as a paralegal is a breeze. Good Luck, cg Let me finish mine up and the three of us can open a practice. Dewey, Cheatum and Howe. J For my children, my God sent husband and my Hadit family of veterans, I carry on.

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted September 21, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 21, 2008 Larry: Good Luck. Its a good way to keep occupied and if you can get a Law Degree and Pass Bar maybe you will have to make some decisions than. In Texas you can go to any school that is supported by Tax Money from State under Hazelwood Act and only have to pay the fee's. I once toyed with the idea of going to Law School in New York CUNY and work in Public Law. Mrs Pete even agreed to go with me. After you have the Degree and Pass the Bar you can decide if you can work or not. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 GREAT- I am planning myself on taking the NVLSP course again and also returning to AMU. I admire you for doing this. I got 1/2 degree in traditional campus and the rest on line at AMU- I must admit I didnt miss looking for parking spots on campus and all that but AMU was HARD! The Marines started this school on line years ago. It has gone to be a top notch university- Check us out if you wish- http://www.amu.apus.edu/index.htm There are fabulous degree programs at AMU and of course fully VA and GI Bill approved. In my opinion-it is harder to go to college on line than traditional way- the volume of writen assignments seems far greater than traditional- your PC access and equipment must be up to date and you always need lots of floppies etc- and then you might have to be proctored -meaning-using a proctor at a local school or library and taking exams on a library PC that the proctor sends to the Professor- This was only difficult for me because get so much snow here in NY-I had to make sure the driveway was clear very early every day I had proctored exams.and I would pray the the Plow would come before I left the hill. I commend you! GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 21, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 21, 2008 I took the LSAT once long ago and could have gone to some law school but was warned that there were just too many lawyers out there already sort of like a school of sharks that would eventually start to eat each other. Maybe I was given bad advice since I ended up an overeducated laborer with a bad back and aching feet. What a waste. However, whatever moves you forward is good.

Question
LarryJ
Just found a place "on line" that I can finish up my degree.
What the heck, why not?
Wellll, on second thought, what would that do to my 100% P&T?
I mean, it's not like I'd ever be able to actually work as a lawyer. I'd just like to be able to say I finished SOMETHING before I died.
If I DID try to "practice" law, I'd be my second client.
My first client, I'd choke the sh*t out of!
(kinda like Danny DeVito in that movie.........I can just see me in front of the judge and jury, actually TRYING a case)
oh well, it's a dream, but a do-able one.
"It is cold and we have no blankets.
The little children are freezing to death.
My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death.
I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find.
Maybe I shall find them among the dead.
Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad.
From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."
