Sorry I never responded to this, yes it's absolutely possible. I think things are changing and a lot of companies will pay for your degree. Typically you can also negotiate it in a job interview. Usually it does involve keeping good grades in school (B or above), so yeah, that happens. :)

I ended up leaving the job and having to pay over $7k in classes, but the company I moved to had an even better deal and paid for my entire degree with no qualms. It's a lot of work and stress, but it was worth it. :)

If a company is going to help you get a master's degree, they should understand that they can't push you too hard, considering the degree is a job in itself!
