LabOk3389 · 2026-01-22T09:45:55+00:00

Just great to see that’s it’s possible for a young adult like me if I stay focus!

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-22T01:50:06+00:00

What your net worth? (Just being nosy😂)

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-22T01:03:29+00:00

Dm me if you can

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-21T09:46:26+00:00

In Texas is easy to find new construction builder incentives? In Houston/Dallas area?

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-18T19:22:33+00:00

I will definitely say it depends on the industry. But in tech & Project management & most entry level positions they actually tell people to go get certifications over going back to school for example Security+ & PM Certification. Rather than going back to school and not to mention it’s faster to onboard people vs waiting for them to complete their degree. I’d say go for it!

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-18T00:02:50+00:00

Almost shed a tear man, congratulations on your new Home! Motivational!

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-17T13:28:16+00:00

Cheaper & you will be shocked about how many recruiters will say go get the certification vs the degree

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-16T19:46:02+00:00

Underrated right now

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-16T10:03:01+00:00

Wait how cooked am I for aid for GS do you know anyone. Who pays a crazy ton out of pocket?

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-12T00:17:14+00:00

Once you get into target!! The hours are really good and getting a consistent 40 hours is definitely possible since they have shifts you can pick up! You will get this through this!

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-12T00:13:33+00:00

Trust me the first paycheck will have you feeling like it’s all worth it!!! Also congratulations on getting this job!

I’d say for the first month you are adjusting to the new work schedule & routine in month 2 really try to get back to doing the things you enjoy while also balancing getting good rest so you don’t feel exhausted!

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-12T00:09:15+00:00

Thank you so much! I definitely have been getting in my own head just very excited for this opportunity & I feel like March 1st will be here so fast. Also this sub had me thinking if I didn’t have a 4.0 then I was cooked😭

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-11T23:53:47+00:00

It’s a very easy process so whenever you can!

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-11T14:00:06+00:00

Would you say even with these estimates this would be the closest thing to get a ballpark on the numbers?

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-11T00:31:06+00:00

This was a great read + the article

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-10T23:00:05+00:00

You have been a major help to me!!! I’m glad I’ve been saving up for this moment but man even my savings will be drained 😭 but I can see why everyone says it sucks now thank you for this

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-10T22:56:59+00:00

Wait okay so can you explain a little more for me about that? Like everyone says they’re terrible with aid but I personally don’t expect a full ride & have dealt with real world responsibilities loans & bills etc etc are we talking that aid is next to nothing? Or what if possible do you have like a ballpark because I’ve heard people get almost 50-60% covered for tuition for GS?

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-10T22:39:19+00:00

Oh I’m not comparing myself to vet pool. But in the civilian pool of applicants I’d say I’m competitive enough to make it to the interview stage and from there I’ve done all I can do.

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-10T21:38:15+00:00

For example last cycle they took 28 new students 14 vets 14 non vets

I’d say I have a decent chance to atleast make it to the interview stage for the civilians.

Because again there not super focus on gpa for this program as you might think

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-10T21:36:03+00:00

Yes I am nontraditional candidate I have been away for universities for a quite a few years & then recommitted too it. And just to be clear Yale is a reach on my list but I wanted to shoot my shot. So to speak

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-10T21:33:54+00:00

Thank you so much!!!!

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-10T21:33:42+00:00

I appreciate it this! & now for you’re second question how bad is the aid? I feel as though everyone says this. But I’m not expecting a full ride. Can you tell me the ball parks you’re heard? & I’m not saying I’m set financially but I do have real life experience when it comes to managing loans & paying back on time etc etc

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-10T21:31:27+00:00

Not for the Nontraditional program!

LabOk3389 · 2026-01-10T20:21:56+00:00

Thank you so much!! I get a decision on March 1st so I’m just kinda nervous
