All I can say is, "Bravo, Starbucks, Bravo!" The coffee giant announced today that it will provide tuition for online education through Arizona State University for their employees.

This is the most awesome thing a big corporation has done for its employees-in my opinion. I mean, not only are they providing employment for over 135,000 people in the U.S. but they're also saying, "here you go, get an education, and even a better job!"

Starbuck's CEO Howard D. Schultz, said that even if they did leave the company for a better opportunity it “would be accreted to our brand, our reputation and our business [...] I believe it will lower attrition, it’ll increase performance, it’ll attract and retain better people.”

The opportunity is open to any employee who works at least 20 hours and gets accepted to Arizona State.
