What companies will pay for college if you work there?
I've heard of companies offering tuition help or even sometimes fully covering your tuition if you are an employee there, but I don't know who most of those companies are. #college #career

Verizon will pay for you to go to school while are working for the company. I am currently going for my master's degree thanks to such a wonderful company.

Hi Kevin,
Many companies have included tuition reimbursement as part of their benefit package, and while some pay directly for your schooling, others may offer to reimburse you up to a certain amount. Something to also keep in mind though when seeking out companies that pay or reimburse for college, is that they may have limitations on the programs that you can participate in. For example, if you are working for a telecommunications company, they may not provide assistance for a degree in biology because it does not apply to career progression within that company. You may be surprised at how many companies have chosen to invest in their employees education, but based on recent information reported by www.estudentloan.com, companies that assist with college are Starbucks, Publix, Verizon, Bank of America, and even UPS.

Hi Kevin,
Verizon Wireless provides tuition assistance but you would have to choose a major that falls in the guidelines to receive tuition assistance.

You may want to consider the United States Military (Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy). Through any of the branches you will have access to the GI Bill which provides generously for college tuition and living costs, they also provide trade skills in many areas to get you the "real world" experience many employers are looking for. Whatever you decide, continuing your education is a great goal and I'm sure you'll succeed. GoNavy
