You basically apply for whatever you can get. Don't necessarily pass over ones that it doesn't look like you have the educational requirements for. Those are kind of bullshit, because no PhD is working as a GS-11 or whatever the "equivalent" education is. I'm currently a GS-12 equivalent with a bachelor's degree.I don't understand how the GS codes work. How do I know what to apply for? Should I expect something in the 35k-60k range...I know thats a big gap, but I just don't know what I'd be considered for. GS-7?
I'm getting out the military in about 14 months and I was just curious when would be a good time to apply for a State or Federal job (specifically in NC).
Please don't take this as criticism, but is there any reason why you aren't considering using your GI Bill?
