Cool...
Also dont get it twisted. You have up to 15 years to use it BUT after 15 it completely goes away
So the GI bill is 36 months long... So you need to start before the 12 year to be able to use all 36 months without missing anytime on it... If you know what I mean

Yea man, Im looking into some IT programs now. I just posted in HIGHER LEARNING? Who has an excellent IT program? I took courses for networking at HEALD, but schools like heald, phoenix, are these schools good for IT? I'm hearing bad things so far. I'm hitting the ground running first of 2015. I make more than many college grads, but I do want to venture off into something else.

You're in CA, so Berkeley has one of the top-5 CS / Engineering programs in the nation.

It might be better to go to an actual tech school or get your degree in the computer science major.
If you already got a degree, it would be better to get certs because all the degree shows is that you can commit to something for a long period of time and certs show that you are competent in the career field. Overall, certs and experience are good enough for a decent job while a degree doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a job but it will definitely guarantee more bread once you do get one.
University of Phoenix is not necessarily a bad school, I know a lot of vets go there or some type of majority online school for IT.
I should've got my associates while I was in atleast... I was literally like 3 classes away
