Nowadays we expect people to pay for their own education. No company wants to be the sucker that invested in fleeting human capital.

i had the chance to read "The Juggling Act" by Pat Gelsinger, which is about a lot of things, and among these also about his work at intel.

the thing that struck me the most that a) intel was paying for his tuition b) he used to have enough flexibility to attend classes, in person.

for people who don't know, Pat Gelsinger is the guy behind the intel 386 and 486, and has been recently made CEO of Intel.

My company has the following deal: we pay for your education, but you must stay for x years.

If you decide to leave before, you must pay $PRICE * (x - $TIME_WORKING_HERE_AFTER_WE_INVESTED_IN_YOU)
