Well - I have a Bachelor's in Journalism and a Master's in Public Relations so I have thought about it. I am 7 years from retirement though.

I have thought about the IT field a little bit and thought about using my GI bill for it but I'm nervous that wherever I would end up working all kinds of crazy hours and it would be to tough on my family.

"Communications" is a broad field. What disciplines within are you talking about? Mass comm/journalism, public relations, marketing & advertising, social media?

Tried to get in to it with my many degrees and years of knowledge they were more concerned about Microsoft certification than actual skill and knowledge

An intriguing question loaded with so many unknown answers. Not like this is the first time I've jumped into something unknowingly. Sure I'm interested and I live in Southern MN so I don't know if COMCAST is down this far.
