Ford offering to pay for college

Ford spokeswoman Marcey Evans said Wednesday that the company began offering the tuition reimbursement program for the first time last week to idled workers at its plant in Edison, N.J., which closed in 2004. Ford also plans to offer the program to laid-off workers at a plant in Lorain, Ohio, which closed in December.

I think it's a brilliant idea. Dude, if Spin offered to pay for my tuition when they laid me off, I'd feel even better about leaving that place.
