Fantastic interview from Howard Schultz on the Daily Show tonight and great idea from Starbucks

I'll post the interview tomorrow when it gets posted

"Starbucks will provide a free online college education to thousands of its workers, without requiring that they remain with the company, through an unusual arrangement with Arizona State University, the company and the university will announce on Monday."

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/16/us/starbucks-to-provide-free-college-education-to-thousands-of-workers.html?_r=0

"Starbucks workers who work at least 20 hours a week and enroll in Arizona State University’s online bachelor’s degree will get $6,500, about half of their tuition, for the first two years and full tuition for the final two, the company said in an e-mailed statement."

Title is misleading, tons of companies help pay for education. Also college is post-secondary education.

appelli uses data from National Employer Survey II by the Census Bureau that in 1997 surveyed a representative sample of establishments in the United States. The survey found that 88 percent of employers provided tuition assistance. The survey also asked employers about the average education levels in their workforce and of their new hires.

1. pada is very intellegient and you guys don't like his superior debate skill (including factual information) in closing the doors and letting you hang yourselves.
2. ANY business who pays for school requires that you are employed there
3. businesses usually have a "cap"

"you don't understand science" isn't much of a debating skill when your "science" consists of a defective study of a study of a study of opinions. The other two comments have nothing to do with anything I said, demonstrating your lack of debating skills. Oh, you forgot to call me a racist. Not feeling well today?

Im glad you don't let passion override reason with your posts. Now be a good girl and go spread pro-Hillary propaganda for a bible thumping candidate that you have no idea what her ideology is.

lol so close to 80 percent of the big companies help pay for post-secondary education that’s your argument? Starbucks is a large employer. Some of the shit you guys say make me question your age, tuition assistance is common in the work place on most job positions above fry cook.

Try reading the paper more carefully. There are a lot of caveats attached to that conclusion you are touting. For example, what do you think qualifies as "reimbursement of tuition" exactly?
Furthermore, if you look at the DATES for the information pool that went into it, you might as well cite "whale oil usage" statistics from the late 1800s.
We are not in the environment which that paper discusses.
As such, your claim is nebulously founded. However, it does have some interesting "wonk" in it. So it's not completely useless.
