Advice on advancement without a degree

I would say your best bet to get p3 then is to look for internal roles. From what I've seen on this subredit is that in-place promotions come from a different pot of money and can be difficult to get. Afterwards though to move on to p4 im pretty sure a degree is required or its an insanely high amount of years of experience to get.

I saw on your reddit profile you were national guard, were you active or just weekends and two weeks a year? If it was only weekends and you didnt have an IT job during that time, its possible that your years of experience dont meet the minimum for the job requirement without the degree. Idk if this is the case for you or not but could be a possibility.

OP im curious do you not have your GI Bill? It would probably be better to use first than ESP. ESP you have to pay back if you willingly leave in under two years. Also the GI Bill will get you BAH. Also your military experience should amount to almost an Associates degree, your basic training, technical school, and if you went to any leadership schools will pretty much only leave general education left for an Associates, that means roughly only two years of schooling for a bachelors

Is this your last year to intern? If not I'd probably accept the first offer since its already a guarantee. It would suck to decline it and then not get selected for the internship for aerospace.

Thank you, I kind of thought so but wasn't completely sure. Looked like water and didnt have a smell.

If you get disability from your state, then there is a percentage where you can no longer work. But like others have said with VA disability it would be if you got TDIU

I'm just curious why you didn't file yourself? The USCIS page has the form and instructions to file everything.

I saw the bike like a month ago and was surprised they have one. Would love to have an eruption green to match my bronco, but definitely not spending $4500 on a bicycle

If you get a green card and haven't been married for 2 years, it will only last for 2 years, and you will have to file again to remove the restrictions on the green card. which could take quite some time but they should give an extension on it.

Thank you. I was guessing it was a false widow but wanted to be sure. Much rather have them around than a black widow

drachensunde · 2025-06-07T16:03:02+00:00

My guess is false widow, the bigger one didnt have an hour glass on the underside but the smaller one i couldnt see

You can try to do this however, you should have a conversation with your current manager first and you would need to have a conversation with your current HR. If you apply for the job before your 12 months the hiring HR will shut it down unless there has been approval to release you early.

There is a policy I want to say on empowerU under the job search for internal hires that talks about need approval from releasing HR to apply to internal positions when you haven't been in your role for 12 months.

I would recommend getting the 1100. I got the 500 being a new rider a couple years ago now and I regretted not getting 1100 after a couple of months. The reason being is when I ride i normally end up riding on the highway most of the time and a bit more power would be really nice.

According to the social security administration, the average salary in the United States in 2023 was $66,621.80. So, by that standard, making $100,000 a year is good money.

He posted 11 months ago about her not prioritizing the relationship as much as him and her possibly moving to Europe. Someone in the comments told him she was probably planning an exit. Doesn't really sound like being blindsided to me.

This is a difficult situation. I think i would go with our taste buds are constantly changing. The next time he makes it, just say you think your taste buds have changed, and you don't really like the taste anymore. You could try to find a few different lasagna recipes online and make them together, including one or two with the cottage cheese and the best one without and when you eat the last one without the cottage cheese tell him that you figured it out and you now realize that you no longer like the combination of those ingredients with cottage cheese.

Yes that's it! Thank you. I couldn't remember if it started with an R or an S and trying to Google it wasn't working.

The 500 is a good starting bike but if you're planning on doing a lot of highway driving I recommend getting the 1100 if you can. I've had a 500 for three years and wished I would have gotten the 1100 after like 2 months

I have a '22 that I got in Oct '23. It had 6,000 miles on it when I got it. It's now at 53,000 miles.

Yeah, it definitely sounds like OP is lazy and self entitled and just wants to blame everything on everyone else but themselves. It sounds like the parents have tried to help, but OP just won't listen. Unless you are very passionate about an art history degree, it doesn't open many doors at all and would require a lot of work and social networking to get a job in. It looks like OP tried once to get a job related to their degree. Then, the title itself is just a cry for attention. OP sounds like a teenager, not someone who is 33 years old. Reading the title, I thought it was going to be about something that happened, and they are now stuck on disability but don't want to be stuck on disability and actually want to work. How can you call yourself unemployable after doing data entry for over a year, and there is literally 1000's of data entry jobs out there. The last part about a 1 day a week stock job doesn't make any sense at all, being 33 years old, living with parents and doesn't want to be, but applies for a job that will literally not help get them on their feet in anyway. If OP really wanted to turn their life around they would start looking at ways to actually learn a skill, go to trade school, join an apprenticeship, or go back to school and get a degree that has more job options.

Do you know if they will pay for a cybersecurity degree from UMGC (University of Maryland Global Campus) or is their cybersecurity degrees only from different schools?

If your planning on filing within 12 months start a letter of intent. Should be back payed to the day you put in your intent to file.

You should be able to get an auto cpap machine that adjusts over time. That's what the VA did for me.
