[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3882703, member: 35036"] I’ll start with the obvious, but not much fun: the military. Active duty will net a GI bill that will never expire, and if they play their cards right they can get out with a decent starting resume with training and trade experience to fall back on. National guard will pay for them to get equivalent training and paid tuition to state schools, with only having to show up a few weekends a year. Other places to look: Target, Walmart, Starbucks, and I’ve heard even chipotle offers paid college tuition for employees. A lot of places do, even if they don’t openly advertise it. I don’t know about the retail side, but I have a buddy who works for target in a non retail capacity and they take really good care of him. He actually gets to (workload permitting) spend one day per 5 day work week working on professional classes, job related personal projects, or education. Paid. I have another friend who had a decent portion of her college tuition paid for by Starbucks, while making good money and benefits. FAFSA is an important place to start, as well as any tribal, ethnic, or income related grants that they may qualify for. If I remember right there’s a college here in the metro that allows full time employees to take classes for free, but I’ll have to look up who it is because I forgot. [/QUOTE]
