When I was a teenager, I worked at a grocery store. It was a national chain, and they offered many benefits to their employees. One of the best things they did was encourage their employees to go to college, and they offered tuition assistance if you kept your GPA high enough. At the time, I wasn't in school. My parents had moved south, and my brother, sister and I were sharing an apartment. Money went towards rent, not school. Looking back, I wish I had found a way to work and go to school.
Right now, it is easier than ever to get an education. With classes available online, you have so many choices. Columbia Southern University is now encouraging companies to partner with them to help educate their employees. CSU Learning Partners can offer their employees a 10 percent discount on tuition, and the $25 application fee is waived. You can get your Associate, Bachelor, or Doctoral Degree all online, doing your classes when it is convenient for you. This is an awesome program to be able to offer future employees, and it can benefit the people already working for you. I know if this were available at my husband place of employment, he would take full advantage of it.

I just never did that because I could never justify spending the money for school when I didn't know where I was going to go with it. Especially while still paying off student loans.
But now that I have more life experience, and a much better idea of who I am, I feel confident that my money is being well spent on my education. :)
