I don’t know about you, but when I dreamt of going to college as a teenager I pictured a beautiful campus, lots of big textbooks, and a professor (usually in tweed) at the front of the classroom. I barely imagined the possibility of having a computer of my own let alone taking classes completely online, but that’s where we are today—and online education is here to stay!
Building a business is work. It requires time, effort, money, and brainpower. But despite the struggles and trials, there is no greater sense of accomplishment than that moment when you realize, for the first time, that an idea has become a full-fledged, tangible, concrete business. And there is nothing more deflating and frustrating than to find out that your idea is already being done by someone else.
But you can mitigate that sense of frustration, improve your idea, and grow your business if you do a little bit of work before starting your business in the form of competitive analysis.
With all of the uncertainty that surrounds the transition from a military to civilian career, one thing that is certain is the high likelihood that you must continue to work. Career transition is a stressful time for most people, and that is particularly true for those in transition from the military to civilian status.
Although the job search can be difficult for civilians, they at least know the terminology and the titles. Military-to-civilian job seekers on the other hand not only have to deal with the stress of the search but also the lack of knowledge about career options and job titles. How about you? Are you wrestling with that uncertainty and wondering what to do next?
That is perfectly normal. Take some comfort in knowing that thousands of veterans have dealt with that stress successfully and you will also.
Are you a military family?
Chances are, the answer to that question is yes, since you’re finding this exclusive content on Army Wife Network. I’m a military spouse who has been married to an active-duty Guard soldier for 18 years. We have two children, so that makes ours a military family, too. Currently, one of my children is in public school, and the other is homeschooled.
f PCS orders are on the horizon, your first step should be finding housing, but the criteria for the perfect home has less to do with the number of bedrooms and more to do with the proximity to the perfect school.
With the end of the government shut down, the MyCAA program is again approving new applications for financial aid—making it a perfect time to talk a little bit about this education funding program!
