I wish this was a thing a few years ago and that more companies offered college benefits. I would've liked working retail a lot better if I'd have been able to get a college degree at the time.
Most people who work at these jobs don't last long enough to finish a semester forget an entire college degree. This place was top 5 worse jobs I ever had including not scheduling me to work and holding my paycheck.
It was one job at one store. Due to Covid, there are TONS of jobs in fast food, the pay is good, and hours are way more than 20 hours a week. Both of my kids (18 & 16) were working 35-40 hours a week right from the start here (August). My daughter got a raise a couple of months after starting, and then a promotion and raise soon thereafter. She makes more than minimum wage in this area, loves her coworkers, and gets free tuition at Purdue Global. Fully-funded so no out-of-pocket. My son is in his wrestling season right now, and his boss basically begged him to please work 1 day a week, so he works Sundays for 8 hours. He likes his job too.
Also, most of the schools on the list are not-semester based schools, so much easier to get courses paid for over a short period of time:
Purdue Global is 6-week or 10-week courses
Wlmington is 7-week or 14-week courses
SNHU and Brandman are 8-week courses
Bellevue is 11-week courses
