I have Cal Vet Plan B; and I would like to point out to the community that since the maximum yearly income to qualify for Cal Vet Plan B is the ever rising poverty level, full time students should not worry too hard about making too much to qualify, even with parental support counting against you, because the income you report is your Adjusted Gross Income, which is cut down significantly by the standard deduction or itemized deductions available to taxpayers. So, while not as helpful as Cal Vet Plan A, Plan B is still a good source of assistance if you qualify for it! Those who are children, of any age, of ANY disabled veteran, even one with a 0% disability rating, which could amount to something as minor as some scars, qualify for 100% free tuition at ANY California public educational program, undergraduate or graduate. You could even get free law school tuition if you would like! Just a heads up to the community!
My main interests lie in macroscopic work/advocacy, which I have been getting the feeling is a career path helped by the prestige factor of a university name. However, advocacy does not seem to pay as well as say something like clinical mental health work, though I stand to be corrected, which would interestingly enough mean that one who takes up advocacy would want as few student loans as possible. This appears to create a tug between the allure of cheap tuition at a CSU and the prestige of a UC. Is this my thought process correct in all this? Thank you for your time and information everyone.
