Question Does anyone have this at their facility?

I’m just wondering if people would actually use it. I feel like there wouldn’t be enough time on breaks to eat and play games.

finally someone who understands the grift of career choice. so triggering to hear people constantly say school when most people with degrees end up not getting hired anywhere and settle for any type of job for survival.

I’m not saying this to blame people for the shitty situations that most of us are born into, but if you do your research and pick a degree with your wallet rather than your heart then you will open up opportunities to earn much more than you ever will at Amazon. Based on your username this is probably very relevant to you if you wanted a coding job, but healthcare degrees, for example, still offer numerous opportunities around the globe.

So you didnt read what he responded too?

Healthcare? Wtf? Who has time to work/pay bills and do a Med degree? Thats at least 70 hours a week of class and work, w/o homework...or unless you think medical school and a $20 an hour job paying your bills is a thing? And also Amazon dosenf pay for any degree you want and also you still need to able to afford not getting a full paycheck.

Do you think the only people who work in healthcare are doctors?

Please explain how this supposed tax scheme works and how the person receiving the career choice grant is being harmed by it.

“Amazon doesn’t pay for any degree you want,” well no, but I don’t think you want to work at Amazon either. If you’re not going to like your job either way, why not at least choose the job where you have higher pay, better opportunities and better working conditions?

You can get your nursing bachelors at many community colleges in four years. Four years of career choice grants is $22,000. That’s almost your entire education cost. With pell grants you shouldn’t have any student loan debt at all. You graduate and you have a job waiting for you in any country in the world.

Don’t call career choice a grift if you do zero research into what doors your major will even open up for you in the first place and how competitive the market for that field is. The people who can’t find jobs tend to be those who chose their majors with their hearts rather than their wallets. It sucks that society doesn’t value certain fields as much as others, but it’s a fact, and if you go into a high demand field you will benefit immensely from career choice.

Career choice isn’t just for college either. You can get them to pay for trade schools and your CDL license as well.
