FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Now that I am working in a hotel again, I have identified the graduate-level opportunity that I would like to pursue. I'm thinking an MS in Hospitality Management.

In other news, penaltybox2010 just made Gold Elite last night.

I am still resisting. And despite purchasing four flights on CO, I got stuck on US and UA ...

What form of tuition assistance do you receive?

I guess I should add my flights. Will someone PM me the details?

It was so nice to light up the Weber gas grill for the first time this year. I think I will have to do that again tomorrow.

I plan on firing up our grill later this week to grill fish for tacos.

100% company subsidized after one year (and at management discretion after 90 days), and I still have 36 months of VA 50% subsidy remaining.

Not so bad - even if you don't get mgmt discretion after 90 days, you would get 50% off from VA and then an additional percentage based upon an educational provision come tax time next year. In other words, the worst case seems to be almost 70% off tuition ;)

You would get 50% off now and pay 50%. Next year at tax-time, you would get an educational deduction or lifetime learner credit for the 50% you contribute in 2010 (would be reported on a 1098-T).

Yes, there was a passenger in the seat in front of her. That other passenger seemed to get up every hour or so. On her way past she gave this w:rolleyes:man a very dirty look every time. I didn't hear any words exchanged, but clearly some had been.

I haz this once on VS. EWR-LHR. :td::mad:

The second comment down does bring up an interesting point. A pro athlete skipping out on $250K does seem a little odd. There is something to be said for maximizing one's education, but will finishing that degree bring him more in lifetime earnings than accepting the bonus check? At his age and with his numbers skewed as they are due to his occupation, I'm not sure.

Ahh, so that's what that form was. I received them from other schools and didn't know what they were.

ETA: Fiancee told me she applied the 1098-T generated thanks to my "attendance" at Colorado Springs this year. I had gotten them from other schools and ignored them. I know, I'm a lunkhead sometimes.
