Handle9:Geektastic:Lias:Geektastic: I'm feeling very jealous of a friend of mine who, about 20 years ago, was sent to Hull University for 2 years to do an MA ON FULL SALARY by his employer!!
He was effectively a student with a grant of (in today's money) at least $100,000 a year equivalent. B*****d!!
I am currently employed by a Tertiary education provider, and while I don't get to study full time on salary, what I do get is pretty damn generous. Help's make up for the lousy pay packets in the education sector :-P
It's still fairly common for employers to pay generously towards study where it is related to work, in the UK anyway.
The only place I have really seen it here is in the Defence Force.
It's available in a lot of corporates. My employer will pay 80% up to a cap per annum with time off to attend lectures. It doesn't get you any relief from hitting your targets though ;)
Funny that. When I had heart surgery I went back to work on a 4 day week. Curiously although my pay was docked 20%, my work load and responsibilities were not....
