11-yr-old’s Ultimate Goal: phd Theoretical Mathematics

[cookderosa]

I would move to Boston and get your kid a job as a janitor at Harvard.

How do you like them apples?

I know you're making a joke, but this is a brilliant idea.

First off, my husband took his job across the country for this exact reason- so we'd have full tuition covered for all our kids. Dependent tuition for college employees is a given benefit with full time employment. That is absolutely the ticket.

My next door neighbor's degree was paid for (cha-ging) by her mom's employee benefit- she was a cook.

My husband's bachelor's degree was paid for by his employer while he was a cook in a cafeteria. That job qualified him for his job he has now as a professor that in turn paid him (his degree and salary bump) for his MBA which he finished last year.

My oldest son works for a grocery warehouse - guess what he has? Tuition reimbursement!

A great job hunting tool - it's the one I used for my hubby: higheredjobs.com
