Just found out I have 4 months and 15 days left of my GI Bill to use. Any recommendations of courses to take to add more value to my resume? What is the current payout monthly for BAH?

Do you qualify for Voc rehab? If you do make sure you save at least one month of your benefits so you can maximize the Voc Rehab

So as long as you have one day of benefits, the VA will cover the full semester. So it might open up a few additional options.

Last of which is just taking a full load at a community college and collecting BAH for a few months. Only one has to be in person for you to receive the full amount.

If you have a bachelor's degree you can't use the gi bill for community college. It's got to be for an equal or higher degree.

I did a masters degree which had one night per week on campus and I was able to get the full E5 BAH. It used up my last 6 months benefits.

Many schools offer MBA programs on an accelerated basis, usually mini-mesters anywhere from 6-8 weeks in length. I was able to crank out an MBA with only 5 months and change remaining on my benefits, taking 2-3 classes each term. MBA is a versatile degree that adds value to virtually any field, just don't get it from a meme university.

I'd recommend taking courses that align with your career goals. For example, if you're interested in digital marketing, consider taking courses in search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing, or analytics.

I'm in supply chain so looking at a 1 year MBA program in supply chain.

As a veteran, utilizing your GI Bill to further your education and skills can be a great way to add value to your resume. I'd recommend exploring courses in areas such as project management, leadership, or technology. You can find current BAH rates on the VA's website or by contacting your local VA office.

Continuing education is a great way to add value to your resume and stay competitive in the job market. Some courses that may be of interest to you include business management, human resources, or marketing.

My only suggestion is to save one day (maybe its a month) if you are not sure where you want to use the benefits. There are several programs now and surely more in the future which will fund the entirety with any amount of GI Bill remaining. This means even if you only have one month and the program is one year the month will cover the entire year. I wish I would have known that when I was in school. I would have saved that one last month.

I want to use it. I'm looking at 1 year MBA programs. Since I have over the amount of time left to cover a full semester, the remaining 15 days will go towards the 2nd semester.

Text me if you need a loan offer

I don't have any VA service connected disability rating. I don't qualify for voc rehab. It's been on my to do list this year to get it done but my benefits expire next year so I'm afraid I won't have time to even try to get 10% at least.

Might be a good time to reach out to those va disability assistance shops. They might be able to guide you through getting something quick to get a rating andvoc rehab eligible
