[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would focus on undergrad and that’s all for now.  Who know what your kids will decide to do, if undergrad at all.  And as PPs have said, there are a lot of employers who will pay or contribute towards grad school.  My DS is premed, we’re funding undergrad, but for medical school - assuming he makes it - he’s on his own.

Who are these employers contributing to grad school? What I know of it's just a token sum. I do know Wall Street firms will cover the MBA expenses of their favorites but that's about as likely as winning the lottery if you're 18 and thinking into the future.

OP said she and her husband both had grad school fully covered by tuition remissions but refused to explain more when asked about it and wouldn't even tell us their occupations because it was too personal.

Point is, no one should plan on employers paying for grad school. If you're lucky you might get a thousand or so if doing a part time masters while still working full time. The grad degrees that promise to return big bucks are the ones least likely to have employer remissions for tuition, methinks. [/quote]

I've got to agree with PP.  While I'm not an expert, the big co's where I have worked it is undergrad that is contributed to, and even that is rare.  It actually works against a company to pay for someone's grad degree without a work contract (which in many states is unenforceable so non-existent) because once you get the MS/MBA you are [i]GONE[/i].[/quote]
