Just curious if your company helps pay for your continuing education and also how they go about this.



Of course they do....Go down to your local Air Force recruiter and they will tell you all about it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I can take up to 6 graduate credits a year, and work picks it up 100%.

Of course, I work for a college...

Man, I can't even get mgmt to pay my mileage from when I had to goto Hurst both times. Or spend my board approved budget. Took three weeks to get approval to buy $78 worth of "tape transport cases"... Hell, I tried to re-arrange my budget, drop off a $29k Citrix server (that they admitt they don't plan on letting my buy this year anyways) and buy a $3,000K test bed for Citrix alternatives, internal vulnrability scans, and testing a push e-mail system for cell phones. Too much financial risk... It's not like we're gonna make much under 2 mil this year.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

It did take three years, but they agreed to reimburse me for any certification I take and pass.... I don't make enough to buy books and take the tests though.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
I was working on my MBA when I started, but between working late and the school moving class times around, I only finished six hours...

Anybody wanna buy a '96 Impala?

Hmmm... This one job in DFW looks mighty fine right about now..

My last employer said full time employees can get paid to go to conferences and get accredited in some things. For instance, if I wanted to learn German, the company would have paid for it. Or if I wanted to take a class in machining, I could have gotten it paid for. Even motorsports conferences (Claude Roulle, etc.) would have been paid for if I was a full time employee.

Many universities will pay you to get your masters and phd. I know at UCI, if you are interested in grad school, you can get paid up to 30k a year to work for the university. You get paid for the work as a TA and in the labs on top of taking classes. I know thats true in the physical sciences and engineering at some schools, but I dont know about an MBA or law.

the wife's company paid 100% for law school, gave her four hours off per week to study, gave her a bonus when she finished, then laid her off.

She's not an engineer anymore.

In my former career, my employer had a continuing education incentive of $2,500 a year towards books/tuition and I could take 4 hours per week of paid time off for schooling. Now that was 30 years ago when $2,500 went a long way for tuition and books. I took advantage of it for 10 years, attending real brick and mortar universities earning my under-graduate, graduate and post-graduate degrees while working full-time. Well worth it.

My wife’s job paid for her RN degree, masters and then specialized practice accreditations. Her current job pays for anything she wants that will help her do her job along with housing and other stuff.

Whether or not your employer pays for your education, it’s always a good investment.

There are a number of us here that work for big technology companies and the answer to your question is yes, not perhaps as extensively as before but ob-going education in pursuit of advanced degrees is generally both supported and subsidized. Oracle helped with my MBA tuition.

I work for an industrial supply distributor. If you want a bachelor's or a master's from any school you can get into they will pay for it 100%. If you can get into USC they'll pay for it.

Yes. It’s Hilarious. Luckily, my kids and all their friends act the opposite. They are all hardworking and responsible young adults.
