I'm in the process of returning to school here soon, and I expected it to be expensive, but man I underestimated it. Luckily I'm already a software developer (though I don't make anything most people here would consider a good salary), so I can do the first couple years at a community college out of pocket an maybe put aside some for later, but its almost guaranteed that the last two years will require some amount of loans, since I'll have to quit working. I'll swallow it because I don't believe it will be too bad, and most decent employers have some form of tuition reimbursement.
- gnicholas 5y agoI'd be curious to know what field you're in that most decent employers offer tuition reimbursement. I've mostly heard of this in the context of existing employees, whom companies will reimburse if they go get a degree (and stay with the company afterward). Do companies do this for new hires as well?
- jsjohnst 5y agoLarger tech companies generally offer this perk to new hires, sometimes after a probationary period. It’s not Ivy League tuition level, but enough to get by at a local school generally.
