If you had 17k to spend on tuition, at 39 yrs old, what would you pick?

I could fly over to Canada just to fix this mess. The women will regret her decision.

OP, you mentioned agriculture, have you considered combining your existing skills with some training in that field? With a business degree plus whatever qualifications you can get in agriculture, you'd likely be able to slot straight into a management position for a large beef, dairy, or cropping company. These kind of jobs tend to be a mix of hands on, driving tractors etc with a bit of office work and meetings.

Women is harmless. Whoever is feeding her brain with filth deserve to be taught a lesson. Creating an excel table just for the lawsuits to bury them.

Yes!! Absolutely. Thats a big factor in the decision process...
I coyld do a transfer to the regular army as a construction tech and get a very generalized education in construction including carpentry, masonry, roofing, but the thing is, the pay is pretty high and it would reward my wife for essentially destroying my life's work and family, which I dont want to do exactly. This 17k I am entitled to as layoff relief would be enough for a year program somewhere. I'm leaning hard into a carpentry program but the 17k is only for tuition, books and fees, which means I'd have to come up with the ovong allowance on my own.
The income split, since my wife refused to work the whole marriage is 60/40 of my after tax income, so that would make my pay about 29.6% of the gross pay. Imagine working a 100k job and having 29.6k to your name. How can a man even live??? I absolutely need cash on the side... general laborer, farm worker (work on exchange for housing) i just dont know.
I prayed the Sorrowful Mysteries on the rosary this morning so I'm feeling grace and peace right now, but I know there's a train wreck coming. Also, not being there to raise my own sons and daughter? What life is this. Only the welfare state and family laws incentive this behaviour... zero zero zero sense in this frivolous divorce

Is there no way you can get joint custody of your children? That is pretty common here in the US. Wouldn't that reduce the amount of child support you have to pay?
