Free college and work

[BeezaPilot]

Yep, I'm very new on this forum and tried the search function to see if this has been discussed before but didn't see it, so apologies if it has been posted or is a tired subject.

I've a couple of friends that work for this company, NUCOR, and they are happy with the pay/ benefits package. Both have commented that this program does not get many applicants, at least not in proportion for the opportunity it presents. While not a welding job... certainly related

Free college, and they pay you a wage while in class...

What is your question???

[BeezaPilot]

No question, rather a link to an educational opportunity and / or job opportunity.

Looks like a good deal if there isn't a "hitch". free tuition(provided a 3.0gpa) and paid to take classes... If I wasn't already in the engineering/manufacturing trade, Id consider it.. If i saw a legit degree program, id still look at it lol. kinda lacking some info on the site tho

This sounds like a good opportunity for some of those college students that are demanding a free education. Oh wait,, this opportunity involves some real work. OK never mind.

Ain't nuthin free in life, somehow, someway, someone pays for it.

between the falling ladle disaster/explosion where 100 tons of molten steel fell and various other injuries and deaths i've read about i would think twice about working for nucor.
