So it's time I finally posted after getting the "Hello Oddball it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks..." message.

I work for one of the larger employers in the Philly region. Their tuition reimbursement is both great and not-so-great. They will reimburse for any class in any program as long as the program is germane to anything they do, i.e. as an Engineer I could go to grad school for sports medicine or law or HR or whatever. Many companies have this policy. Other companies, it has to be relevant to your job which kind of sucks.

Many companies will not necessarily promote you when you get the degree, but when you show improvement in your performance because of hte knowledge learned.

The only bad part about my tuition plan was they paid up the IRS minimum threshold for it not be counted as income, about $5700 a year.

It was great for me. I went to Rowan Engineering at night while working during the day. Best thing for my career I ever did.
