The Educational Attainment Among Combat Veterans and Non-Combat Veterans In The Most Recent All-Volunteer Force Era Presented: Portland OR, Pacific Sociological Association Annual Meeting, March 2014 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Pacific Sociological Association Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Military Service; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Veterans Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The aim of my research is to investigate whether there is a difference in the educational attainment of veterans and non-veterans, with and without combat experience. Non-veterans include individuals that were currently listed at the time of the NLSY 97 survey. Using fixed-effects regression models I analyze the difference in total number of years of education attained for each of these groups. The results indicate that individuals that have experienced combat have fewer years of education. This finding changes, however, if the individual is also a veteran, as veterans that have experienced combat received more education than veterans that have not experienced combat. |
