two that you just mentioned. the first is getting care when you come home. and then the second is sort of that civilian, the military to civilian transition. to first on getting care, i think what a lot of people don t realize is this is what it looks like when somebody goes from, say, being a soldier to being a veteran. as a soldier, you can look on the army website and figure out how the army views your health status nearly down to the molar, because they ve got to make sure you re deploy aable. they know everything about you, and they ve got you figured out and there s some security in knowing that. so what do employers do? if employers don t understand the value of sveterans, how can we change that? there s a couple of things you can do. one, you can put veterans is human resources positions, you can put them in higher up positions in their company so they can look at resumés and sit down with somebody and say tell me about what you did. can i ask you a question like
no matter of the field. i have applied for everything from human resources positions at the casinos to clerk positions, secretary positions, anything. anything. and i mean, still struggling. it s 2011. i will tell that you there are lawyers in this town that are driving cabs. lawyers in this town doing part time work at starbucks. they are young kids. they don t have families. and they love las vegas. but many of them are moving. where are they going? states like texas, new mexico, tennessee, states with low unemployment and some growth. shepard? shepard: anita, apparently salaries are way down after the recession. they are. not exactly what these law school grads want to here, right? starting private practice salaries were down anywhere from 10 to 20% from just a few years ago. the national median salary for the class of 2010 was $63,000. compared with $72,000 for the class of 2009.
