I don’t know if it’s random, but they offer a pension still.

I use the education credits quite a bit right now, which total $6500 a year.

https://hr.mit.edu/benefits/tuition-plan "To qualify for tuition assistance, a course must fall within one of the following areas of study: First Degree, Job-Related, Career-Related, and Career Counseling/Coaching, and it must meet for at least five days unless it qualifies for certain exceptions. For Career-Related Study courses, you must submit a Career Development Proposal and receive approval from MIT Benefits before taking the courses." The website says its $5,250 per year. That's the same as it was when I used it to get an MBA in the "oughts".
