This is a different topic but always try your best to understand what you're getting yourself into. Any Fortune 500 company's tuition reimbursement program or any management stay program is going to have teeth to it. What that means in laymens is that you're locked into staying for 3-8years, otherwise you have to pay the reimbursement back.
I'm not saying not to take advantage of that benefit but I'm saying to make sure you know what you're getting into. Successful people aren't just dreamers. Dreamers are the people with great ideas that don't have commitment or follow through. There's plenty of those on this very message board that have brilliant ideas but don't have two nickels to rub together.
One example I'll use is the career path of accountants. It's boring to tears and if you ask me and if you ask most of them, it sucks. With that said its very defined. They understand if they wade through 5-8 years of the suck, they become managers when they're at the Big 4. If they're good and they stay 8-12 years, they're partners and they're set for life.
Most people would say 'oh I can do that', start down the path, earn a poor salary, rack up bills and then ultimately change their mind, quit, and have nothing to show. Compare that to those that are strong willed enough to put their head down, shut up, and grind. That separates the winners and losers in life.
This.
While not an accountant, I'm grinding right now for a fortune 500 and looking at MBA. I have to reimburse my time it takes to get back to the company but the doors and ceilings it busts through with my experience is huge is the long run.
