College CDL course

Would you please explain to me *how* they are superior?

 

Don't forget the cost of not working. Those 9 weeks can add up to quite a bit, even at what the starter companies pay. Or, more realistically, that's 9 weeks earlier that you can get into a "real" company.

 

Congratulations on those electrical engineering degrees..both of them... Fine ....Can't really give you too much argument from that standpoint ironpony... after coming home from the war , only thing I ever did was drive for a living til I retired. I did always remember some really great advice I got from a teacher in high school though. She told our class that we should strive to find a field of study/a trade , that we could not only use for the 1st few years after finishing school/trade school/college , but one that would always be in demand. She also was wise enough to tell us that there would always be a place for for the garbageman/grocery store clerk/cashier/school teacher/policeman/fireman etc...I guess I'm saying that in order to be a successful individual you don't "have" to be an educated person. Nothing wrong with it...my wife is a very educated lady (CRNA) , my oldest is a family medicine physician , my youngest a civil engineer...My point to the your comment was it's ultimately the OP's decision as to how he wants to use his GI benefits , and to use them to go to a cc CDL program is NOT a total waste....most truck drivers really believe that they provide an invaluable service to this nation...hauling everything that a person needs at one time or another to survive , except maybe for the air we all breathe. That IMHO.....ironpony , shouldn't be considered a waste in any shape , way , form or fashion. Without truck drivers , even the starter/mega companies , this economy would grind to a halt in a very , very short time period. Not trying to change your mind...doesn't affect me one way or another.....just pointing out that there are other thoughts on higher education and it's benefits...BTW...Thank you for your service...

 

It would be easier if you just list the cons of attending community college, if there are any. There are to many pros.

 

Not really any cons to that educational route...at least IMO anyway...

 

just like anything else...you have to make plans ahead for this.....

 

Here is a thread I created on my personal experience with community college...

Maybe he went to Grenada, the little country we invaded to rescue the American medical students that had no idea they were there against their will.
