[quote:janedoenut:MV80MDU1ODgyXzczNDc4ODIxX0QzRDU0QzIy] I can see how some think this is a good idea but seriously, walmart has us from cradle (infant products) to grave (caskets and urns.) I find this repulsive and dangerous. I find that we allowed it to get this way absolutely terrifying. [/quote]
Original Message
Walmart is extending its debt-free college benefits to high schoolers as a way to attract and retain workers in a tight labor market.
The nation's largest private employer said Tuesday it will offer free college SAT and ACT prep for its workers in high school, while offering two to three free general education college classes through an educational startup.
Walmart estimates about 25,000 people under the age of 18 work at its stores, a fraction of its 1.3 million person U.S. workforce.
