Thank you for your service!!

My wife and I are both in Nursing school and graduate in May 2012. I know what your going through because I have been there myself. I am in school because I was tired of roller coaster paychecks and 0% job security. It all ends up working out in the end and is usually a better deal. Take care and we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

if she gets that job, you NEED to go talk to the counselor at your nearest school - you probably can't afford A&M, but you need to get into SOME school.

do you know what they're paying right now !?!? HOLY **** !!!!

i heard they're also paying BAH if you enroll full time.

that's your ticket to a successful life Devil Dog.........

Yeah it sucks; "insufficient sales performance" means they let you go and probably will fight you on unemployment benefits. You will make it , besides the way that company treated you it sounds like you were way to good for them!!! Dust yourself off and get after the job search on Monday, then when you land that better job also get enrolled in some night classes and better yourself!
