Go back to school and excel in the workplace.
Furthering your education can lead to better jobs, a more secure state of employment and higher pay. It can also open doors that might have been shut because of a lack of education or course experience. No matter what the state of the economy, there will be employers that would help finance employee education, as it can lead to a more productive and successful work environment. Find those companies and market yourself to your current employers for tuition reimbursement, as well.
Instructions
1. Find a company that reimburses for tuition. These companies are typically larger, and can be found online in yearly reviews (CNN Money, Fortune Magazine and the like), as well as listed on blogs and group websites (fatwallet.com).
2. Convince your employer that particular classes or degrees will apply directly to your current role. It's important that what you want reimbursed for be applicable to your position, and not completely out of the realm of your work.
3. Find partnerships between your current or potential employer and colleges or universities. This will make it easier, as reciprocity could exist between work and school.
4. Commit to terms that your employer could offer you. These terms might include a period of employment following completion of a course or degree program, as well as academic standards that need to be upheld.
