    You worked too hard to go with a crappy company; choose wisely and make some good money. Tidewater Transit in Decatur is a good one to consider. They now hire new grads.

    What you have done so far is the easy part.You have had your hand held. The real world awaits you now.
    Relax, take a deep breath and just do it. Do not get nervous. Remember what you have learned.

    Tide water transit would be good its close to my house but I don't think they have tuition reimbursement for students. But they do hire new grads.

    Sometimes companies that offer tuition reimbursement also pay lower. In other words, some companies you might make a thousand a week, but no tuition reimbursement. A company that pays maybe $700.00 a week has tuition reimbursement. Big difference in a year or two. That's a personal call though. I personally ignore any bonus programs, sign on bonus, tuition reimbursement, etc. but that's me.

    When my better half went to a driving school many years ago the cost was taken out at a fixed rate each pay day. It was a company sponsored school in OK. Mattered not how much the check was.
