[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1152669, member: 42270"] Sounds like you should have asked your local HR manager about this before signing on. Tuition reimbursement should be universally offered, but it's generally only offered in "college towns." UPS paid for my community college (2 years) but that $1,500 ain't much (better than nothing) towards (in-state) tuition at a state university. We used to have an $8,000 "earn and learn" loan wherein UPS (on top of tuition reimbursement) would pay $2,000 on the principle for every year you worked ($8,000 over 4 years, but you had to repay the interest) if you were going to school. It was a pretty sweet program but they axed it in early '08. I still owe a decent chunk of change on my student loans, but it's quite a bit less than I would have had to pay if UPS didn't offer the program. Quite frankly, I'm surprised UPS hasn't pared back or eliminated the reimbursement program yet. It's useful for recruiting the PT workforce they want (young college kids that will hopefully leave in 4 years) and I'm sure they get some sort of tax cut for offering it. Right now, I'm learning Español on UPS' dime. :smart: [/QUOTE]
