What if you could use it for tuition reimbursement?

Companies have all sorts of benefits that don’t help everyone like subsidized family medical coverage. My company offers a decent tier of completely subsidized health insurance whether it is just you or you have a family with 10 dependents. They pay more for family coverage than individual coverage. Also paternity/maternity leave.

There are plenty of benefits that don't apply to me that I'm getting shafted on. If I didn't commute, for example, I would be missing out on commuter benefits that I otherwise have no way of getting. Same thing for vision care if I had 20/20 eyesight or parental leave if I have no plans to have children. Benefits don't benefit everyone equally.
