"Many employers offer tuition reimbursement. But those programs usually come with limitations like the full cost not being paid, new employees being excluded, requiring that workers stay for years afterward, or limiting reimbursement to work-related courses."
While a great perk for being associated with the company it's sad that this what corporations do to be courteous to their employees. On the other hand, if free-tuition is not in the foreseeable future for the country, I think getting a job that offers perks such as education reimbursement is a great option.
