Your’s sounds like a win / win situation. With most of the idiot organizations I worked for throughout the years, I was pretty happy to have my payroll check clear at the end of the week. I think in this day and age any company offering a tuition payback program should be applauded. ---

My cousin got an internship at a bank while getting his bachelors, got his degree, worked there for a year after being hired full-time, then did their tuition reimbursement , got his masters and is now VP Branch manager and has gotten like 4 promotions during a 3 year period. If you don’t work for a shitty company, and don’t suck as an employee I really don’t see why they would abuse you. Fuck, you can just go do some sort of labor job and make $12+/hour at least while searching for an actual career. Why the hell would you stick around your current place? ---

Pick something that the masses have developed a NEED for. Be sure to pick something that is considered magic by the masses, they must NEED it but they must not understand it. Do whatever it takes to learn & demystify the “magic” and rake in the cash. LZ is on the same page as me here, listen to him. Niche skill-sets are where the best money can be found.

I think the issue there is customers can actually see the end result. Data center & server room infrastructure are invisible…thus they must be magical.
