Google's new $100 million Google Career Certificates Fund

[uncapentin]

Just saying, if someone is only making $12-15/hr, they might not HAVE $100 to spare for Coursera or access to other resources. Being able to make almost double that, then only paying $100/mo. afterward would seem like a pretty sweet deal.

 If they're making that $$ then they likely get a tax refund and could use that, or pick up a quick side job to cover $100 . Far better than $100 every month for 60 months. I get what you're saying but I'm a tight wad and see the long term in basically everything. Anyone can find a side hustle to make a quick $100 if they have the drive. My mind says, " You can't possibly know what might happen over a 5 yr span of time so best not to tack on more debt than is needed."  The $15 an hr, 40 hrs wk x 52 wks is also a much lower tax bracket, and isn't close to being half the $40,000. I'd say do coursera, or better yet, go to work for google straight out of the gate and let them pay you to learn and get your cert.
