Walmart to pay 100% of college tuition & books

It would arguably be worth taking a job at Walmart for 15 hours a week if they cover graduate school programs.

the other question is whether they restrict what you can major in. I've seen some employee tuition programs that will only pay if you are getting a degree that can benefit your employer (business, marketing, etc.)
From what I've gathered looking into the program in the past:

-there is no minimum amount of hours: all salaried and hourly employees are eligible
-not eligible for people with bachelor's already (therefore not eligible for masters)
-they are restricted to certain programs with certain institutions. When I looked into it in the past I found that they had a lot of options in business, supply chain, management information systems, IT, computer science, and cybersecurity. Also some associates degrees, general studies degrees, certificate programs, college readiness, highschool completion, language courses, and vocational training.

It looks like you can't look at the program details anymore without an account so they've probably made some changes since I last looked at it. I still think it's a great program for people stuck at a low wage job like Walmart to better their life and move onto something better.
