I must be missing something here. You mean to say there are employers out there that will be impressed that someone has taken an extension course at Harvard, when many of these course are open to anyone willing to shell out the necessary fees? > Plus the city doesn't consistently pay for education for employees so this > would end up being a program that some folks were able to use by virtue of > their position in the city and others couldn't. I'm missing something again. So the city won't pay for a course on public policy for a councilmember unless a clerk in accounting can receive tuition for the same course? Gezz, no wonder this city's in the shape it's in.
