Tuition reimbusement when leaving job?

Question

Will other companies pick up left over tuition bills? Say I go to school for 2 years part time while working. My company reimbuses me 14,000 (7,000/year), but my total school costs 80,000. If I leave my company, will another company pick the rest of my bill plus the 14,000 that I will probably have to pay back? Has anyone ever done this?

Answer 1

um..no.

Why?  when you are hired, they hire you with the degree you already have.  Why fork over money for something when you were hired with it already.

Answer 2

depends on the company's police on tuition reimbursment.  but they won't give you the 14k you already had paid by the previous employer.  If a company only pays 5k a year toward tuition then that is all you get regardless of what the previous company paid.  sometimes You may have to work for a certain amount of time before they will pay.  You will have to pay for the classes during that time if you wish to continue going to school and not take a break from school.  and no you wouldn't get the money back.
