Where I work allows full-time employees to get their PHD and also gives some paid time to write your thesis. You can also propose research projects that align with your thesis topic.

Edit: Also tuition is free.

Wow I thought my employer (Massachusetts) had been generous just allowing it and paying for it, but time to write your thesis?

That's a great opportunity and I hope someone goes for it.


Yeah it is a pretty nice place to work. Downside is that we are state employees, so salaries are lower than in industry (sometimes).

I know several people I work with going this route right now, so some people do it!
