Default Rant about Tuition Reimbursement

Okay...I work for Wachovia and I am fortunate enough to get tuition reimbursement through them up to $5,000/year. I have been going through a long battle with them over whether or not they will reimburse me for CLEP and DSST expenses. So far, the answer on that is no.

But go figure this: They have decided to grant me reimbursement for my EC exams because they are given from the institution that I am attending. I'm not sure if that makes a whole lot of logical sense, but I'll take it.

When I first mentioned CLEP and DSST to my HR department I got that blank stare of confusion. One lady kept saying..."Sir, we only pay for "actual" college credits, not some certification that you are getting taking these tests. I guess ignorance is bliss...
