Starbucks Offers Workers 2 Years of Free College
mpicpp writes Starbucks baristas working through college are about to get an extra boost from their employer. The company announced it will offer both full and part-time employees a generous tuition reimbursement benefit that covers two full years of classes. The benefit is through a partnership with Arizona State University's online studies program. Employees can choose from any of more than 40 undergraduate degrees, and aren't limited to only business classes.
Yeah, I'll get right on board with that the minute we stop paying for an education past the 8th grade for welfare bums and students who've shown that they have no interest in actually taking their education seriously.

Let those kids hit the ground running at 18 instead of having to go back for more education.
