[QUOTE="Raptorman, post: 271689, member: 655"] Millions of dollars. Yup. Do you know how many NFL players actually "blow" all their money before they are even out of the league? Quite a few. I remember a story in the Washington Post a few year back that looked at the problem. Unfortunately it was several years ago and I cannot find a link. Problem is most players don't invest very well and when they leave football, unless they have had good advice, they have nothing left. And for every 3 million they make they end up with about 1 million in their pocket. And to top it off, many of these players never "finished" the degree they were working on while in school. The reason I used store managers is because of how much time they put in, not how much money they make. Charlotte. It's great that your husband got his degree. And for the most part the VA will pay for school. Although it's not paid for like you think. For example, when I enlisted, if I did not put some of my money away for school then my benefits are $0. It was called VEAP, and it ran from 77-85. So for those vets that enlisted then, if they put nothing in they get nothing out. Current rules pretty much limit your payments to within the 10 years following release from active duty. So if you wait, you stand a good chance of getting nothing. And Clay, school is never a novelty, if as a coach I found out a player felt that way about school, I would not want him on my team. But that's just me. Like I said, good luck to the kid and I hope he does well. (except of course for at least two games a year.) [/QUOTE]
