Best way to leverage VA benefits post-retirement

Ian Murray
Posted

Good morning all,

My question revolves around using my VA benefits, specifically my post-9/11 GI Bill following my retirement from the Army in 2024. For those with significant experience doing this, am I better served using my benefits to get an MBA or to use them to take a myriad of courses at the undergrad level that could also help me, e.g. a few accounting courses, maybe some basic trades courses, marketing, etc. I don't need an MBA for anything in particular. I just thought that it might be valuable for networking and learning different business practices. If you recommend the non-degree seeking course method, what classes would you recommend? I have a few properties right now that are all cash-flowing and plan to scale up following my retirement and possibly during the run up to it.

Thanks for any advice.
