    I think it would be nice if the VA would offer training to veteran’s for these types of jobs. I was a caseworker with Job & Family Services for 8 years, but I do not have a college degree even though I have over 200 college credits. I cannot afford to pursue the certifications required for this position, and I am a Desert Storm veteran.
