Yep. I know a few people who got their workplace to pay for it. It was an incredibly easy way for them to pad their resume and ensure higher pay ranges at stupid workplaces that gated stuff like that.
Only came up when we were talking about schooling (I was still finishing mine).
Everyone that made a big deal of it though, complete morons.
May not be working at Lowe's much longer, but they make a point that a piece of paper isn't a big deal. I think it's the CFO that doesn't have a degree?
Anyway, CEO is proud to say that a diploma on the wall isn't a free ride. Busted my ass there for 3-months, got a promotion in the bag tomorrow. OTOH, just got a surprise interview for a tech job that pays 3x more. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ Win either way!
Congrats!
