1. “Veterans with a college degree are more hirable than Veterans who don’t have a college degree, should this be fair?” Specific Hypothesis.

2. The Concept of Veterans who have fought in war, whether recent or past wars, shows that because of this, hiring a veteran should not just be based on college preference.

3. Homeless Veterans: In past wars, Veterans during those times did not have access to majority of the benefits that are available to Veterans today. Theory A

a. What resources are available today for Veterans that were not available to Veterans from past wars? Concept 1

b. How can resources that are available to Veterans be useful to them? Concept 2

4. If there were a way to inform Veterans of the benefits that they could use, what would be the best way to inform them? Implications for public policy

5. Although education is an important factor when hiring an individual, I personally feel that a veteran should be considered for a specific position, if there experience from the military meets the requirements for that job. Education

6. All Employers or agencies should have a Veterans preference program. Implications for employers

7. Evidence. Many soldiers have lost their lives fighting in war for our country and those who have been injured do not receive the credit that they should and I feel that this should be something that should negotiated more.

c. There should be more specific programs that reach out to Veterans that are not eligible for the benefits that today’s Veterans are capable of receiving.

8. Conclusion(s): Although this argument may not seem fair to most, I think that availability of programs for Veterans should be extended more than they have. There are extremely too many homeless Veterans that are not aware of the programs available to them and this need to change.
