Dr. Griffin encourages students to utilize their service history to enhance marketability through education and emphasizes the need to consider expenses such as rent and textbooks. Nick highlights the significance of knowing and utilizing available benefits, such as Chapter 30 for active duty students, and making strategic decisions about education savings. Both advocate for mentorship and community resources to guide military students in navigating financial challenges and planning for successful educational and career outcomes.
