Has the Forever GI Bill changed your plans to go back to school? What degree would you consider?

I missed the cutoff by a couple weeks; however, for me its a moot point as last year I started using my Post 9/11 GI Bill to get my MBA. I am glad that for those who might be positively affected by this when they decide to further their education at some point down the road, they need not worry about that benefit's clock winding down on them.

Forever GI Bill has not changed plans since original expiration was still 15 years after ETS. If one gets a degree, it should be from a ranked and reputable school. One issue with GI Bill was unscrupulous unranked for-profit schools enrolling veteran students with deceptive / misleading advertising.

I think I would of have liked to pursue a degree in physics

I have been fortunate enough to have my entire higher education paid for by TA and military graduate programs. That being said, I have 14 years in and I have two young kids both under 2 yrs old. This will allow me to transfer to them without fear of losing it past the 10 years after I possibly retire.

Nope, as I got out before the deadline I'm still under the old law.

I think it is great that so many will be positively affected.

Yes, because they've increased benefits for IT professionals.

My question to you is why are you asking? Are you trying to get ideas for better marketing your university towards Veterans? The "why" matters.

I'm not quite familiar with the Forever GI Bill. I know that my Post 9/11 GI Bill had a 15 year expiration which I still have plenty of time left on it. Eventually I have plans to go back to school, but personally I feel like waiting until the political climate has cooled a little. Colleges don't seem to be the place where you can exchange ideas and thoughts anymore.

I already have a degree in legal administration. I'm not sure if I want to pursue something higher, or branch out into a different field. I'm not currently utilizing my degree, so I guess it depends on where my current profession takes me.
