My pops called me yesterday because his HP Smart app on his computer wasn’t opening and he had to scan some documents. This was how our convo went:
Me: IDK how to help you with that.
Dad: But you installed it.
Me: When? Like 10 years ago???
I just walked him through taking pictures of the documents on his phone, then attaching the photos on an email from his phone. His navy friend told him that the VA will pay for you to take college classes plus pay you $2500 a month on top of that for 4 years and give you a laptop. He’s retired, so he wants to fill his time and make some extra cash money, too. So he’s submitting paperwork for that.
I was like, ‘You could not pay me to go back to school!’ You guys, I was the only one of my friends who didn’t graduate high school in white (an honor student I was not), I took a single AP class my senior year (statistics) and failed the AP test miserably, I took classes at every single community college in SD before transferring to SDSU where I only went for a year before I left to go to The Art Institute (which has since closed down), and I didn’t finish, but I left with $80K in student loan debt 😅 (which I’ve since paid off, because you don’t need a degree to be a successful graphic designer).
Anyway, if anyone knows how to fix the HP Smart app on an old PC, please help my dad because this B-sian ain’t the one 😆
Does he have an iphone? Coz i just use my files app to scan documents.
And ps. I woooould soooo do this. I know college classes doesnt cost 2500 a month so hes def making a profit, plus learning something. Im about to tell my dad about this!

he does have an iphone! idk about using the files app to scan. educate me!
omg they pay for your classes PLUS $2500/month on top of that directly to you!!! tax-free too i think. def tell fudder 😆 also, i believe it has to be within a certain time since you were on active duty (< 10 years) or within 10 years since you qualified for disability pay. my dad got out of the navy before i was born, but he started getting disability pay less than 10 years ago so he still qualifies. he had a video conference call (that we had to show him how to do on his phone lol) with a group of other people interested in applying, and i asked if they were all young and fresh out of active duty, but he said everyone was old like him! 👴🏻
