First decide what your educational goals are. I see you’re educated as a paralegal. That’s good! Do you like legal work enough to become a lawyer? Five or six more years of school will probably use up your remaining GI Bill. Closely related would be law enforcement or social work. A bachelors degree in criminal justice would set you up to enter a police academy. To be a social worker you’ll need an MSW in most states.

Second most colleges will assist you applying for GI benefits through their financial aid office. Also check the VA website.

Tell us more in your profile and we can help better.
