    Pinched this topic from another forum. Here's the Forbes article:

    $1 a day is quite a rollback! IIRC , Walmart offered employees a degree assistance program back in 2010 that was much more expensive, through American Public University system. I found numerous articles about the startup, but none about the demise. My guess - priced out of reach for Walmart wages.

    Here's our 2010 Thread about the former plan. https://www.degreeinfo.com/index.php?threads/wal-mart-employees-get-discount-at-apu.33086/

    I hope this plan fares better.
