Many employers realize that an investment in their employees is actually an investment in their company. With employer sponsored education opportunities, employees can continue their education with little to no out-of-pocket expense in exchange for signing a contract to continue working with that company for a set amount of time. For many, it is a win-win situation. An interviewer is likely to recommend a candidate for employment if he feels that the candidate has the intention to stay employed within the company for an extended time. However, if you are not interested in continuing your education at this time, simply state that you have reached a place where you are satisfied with your degree, but appreciate the fact that the option is there if your future goals change.
