That is ONE way!



Is an Information Technology
Career Right for You?


There’s one way to find out. Take IT for a test-drive.

IT professionals are problem solvers and continuously keep learning throughout their careers. They interface with people nearly as much or more than they do with technology. They listen to the issues a business has and then create or fix technology to improve the company’s success. Their jobs are indispensable, and IT pros become the go-to people in their companies.

An IT career offers stability, flexibility and unlimited potential. Plus IT jobs have average salaries well above the national median wage.

top-lies-voc-rehab-tells-disabled-veterans top-lies-voc-rehab-tells-disabled-veterans Many veterans fight with VA Vocational Rehabilitation for years before figuring out that program administrators are straight up lying to them about what the program can do for any veteran. Want to know what those lies are before you fall victim? Thousands of  disabled veterans  apply for Chapter 31  Vocational Rehabilitation  every year. Some are successful in getting the benefits they deserve and some are not. In my time researching and writing on the subject, there seems to be a common theme arising: lies. Many veterans are misled about what Voc Rehab can do for them even though policies exist that contradict what counselor say. This leads one to conclude that either there are guidelines to excuses somewhere that Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors live by, or there is an underlying discussion between offices as to what excuses can be used to k...
