    Thank you for this video. I have my AA in business and have been with Walmart for 3 months. I currently applied for the guild thing for LSU and Bellevue.
    I’m convinced this is a blessing in disguise. I’m 27 and don’t see myself attending a university or going to classes in person.
    Walmarts offer for free online tuition is very appealing.

    To answer some. You have to stay with Walmart until you finish the degree or certifications if you don't you'll pay a big fee because your not with Walmart. But once you complete the program you can leave Walmart but with there discount cards, 401k, health insurance, discount on cars and able to relocate anywhere in the world... do you really wanna leave Walmart and your able to move up in Walmart. To a desk job making $25-30 hourly.

      I was thinking this bc the careers I’m interested in that Walmart offers (which is very few) will land me a job making $19 or maybe $21 an hour….huh? I make $17 rn so why should I put in the effort for school (which I already hate) to earn a few more dollars, than do bare minimum here, but at the same time I do want a career and not jst a full time job forever

    I want to work at Sam's Club because I like the idea of going part-time and going back to school I want to go for human resources anyway what I'm trying to figure out is do I have to wait a certain amount of time like is it immediate as soon as I'm a hired I can start going back to school or do I have to wait 6 months to a year I wouldn't assume that only full-time employees can apply because most employees are part-time but still I can't seem to get an answer to this question and I did call the manager which I feel terrible for because I feel like I'm yanking this guy around and I don't want to do that looks bad on me
