Walmart to Help Associates Get College Degrees

[dfrecore]

As I understand it, Walmart isn't going to require a service agreement- I can't see why this isn't a perfect opportunity for a teen to grab a summer job and then start college in the fall while working weekends.  I just read in FAIL U the data on college hours - and the average college student is only spending a total of about 15 hours per week in class+studying.  Combine that with the boatloads of data that say working during college improves outcomes (not a million hours, but a few) and you have a real winning combination!

That's exactly what I was thinking.  A teen working weekends and holidays, and then 15-20 hours a week during school getting free tuition is just about the best deal you can come up with!  I will be encouraging my daughter to start looking at this when she graduates in a couple of years.
