Taco Bell Free College

[StoicJ]

My wife worked at Taco Bell for almost 4 years from ages 17-21, and she really liked her time there. Then again, she doesn't have a whole lot of bad things to say about any place she's worked.

I can see this being a good deal for a lot of folks. 20 hrs x 52 = roughly 1000 hours per year. If you take courses full-time and say TB pays $4000 in a year, you basically get a ~$4/hr addtl benefit. Makes a $9-$11/hr job look a whole lot better. What really stands out to me is the fact that employees qualify right off the bat.

There's also the fact that TB's are everywhere. I live in a semi-rural area. The concentration of jobs is pretty low, but there are two TB's within 15 minutes of my home.

Hopefully a lot of people can benefit. Good on Taco Bell for offering this : )
