I work at Starbucks and I applied to ASU as a transfer student. Everything Tori said is correct. The classes are fast paced so keeping track of due dates is imperative since the quarter system is used. So far, after a year of ASU, I have only purchased 2 books and 1 graphing calculator. A lot of the materials can be included. I don't know any other employer that gives you health and life insurance, free coffee and food per shift, free weekly pound of coffee, free Spotify premium, flexible schedule and a degree at ASU paid up front. If you are a partner at Starbucks please don't burden yourself with a school loan.

You and I were pretty much in the same exact situation! I dropped out of school in 2011 and returned a couple of years ago at the age of 29. I've just graduated with a 4.0 (never in my life have I seen that number) and obtained an AA in English. I just started at Stabucks and will be taking advantage of their ASU benefit! From my experience, I feel like jumping into college right after high school isn't the best choice for everyone. Over the last decade, I've basically worked in retail and climbed my way up the ladder. Started out making about $9 an hour to eventually $24 an hour. However, I felt like I had obtained great leadership experience and eventually hit a wall that made me realize I could be doing more with my life. Going back to school wasn't easy, but all my years of working and maturing has done me well. Good luck to you!

Wow! I honestly needed this. I came to your video assuming it'll just be all about the same ole facts about the program like most of the other videos. But you gave such great information about the program which was awesome! Thank you! However, it literally shocked me when you started talking about God and how he has lead you to going back to school. WOW! I just can't begin to explain how powerful that was. I've been praying & asking God to show me which way I should go. I just got hired onto Starbucks, and once I heard about the college program, I was instantly interested. In a way, ,it's like God literally spoke through you, not just for me, but i'm sure for many others as well. Keep shining your light girl. Thank you for creating this video, for becoming a youtuber, and for your voice. What you do matters. Thank you! All glory to God, keep your faith going my sis. (:

Girl! I applaud you! College isn't easy and I totally get you like I'll be entering my first year of university next fall and ill be 26! You are doing great!! thanks for sharing your story :)

Im a mom. I have three children. Had thrm at 17. 21. 25. I'm officially done. And have to be. I cannot tell you how the pandemic affected us. But I can say I now work for Starbucks in a beautiful location in Miami. Being a mom online, and getting paid fair, I can't wait to get my degree.

Holy cow, good quality video. You deserve more subscribers and I’m sure you’ll get there!!

What an incredibly inspiring video! I'm wishing you all the best on your journey 💗✨

Wow girl… thank you so much. God bless you, hope school is going well for you!!

Great stuff Tor! :D Your videos are always entertaining and informative.

Thank you! This was very helpful! 🤍

Tori, I went through a wide range of emotions just watching your quick video. I'm searching post high school for my son. I didn't expect to almost CRY! You are so great, funny and informative on video but... your faith and trust in GOD and praise His name sends chills down my spine with hope and joy. God bless!

Inspired by your vid to go back this fall! Thanks.

That watch part got me messed up😭😂

💜 amén, thank you so much. This video eased me and reminded me that all is possible with Him

The application process and working in Starbucks is 100% true. I know not why God had wanted me to go down this path either. But I’m so excited to go down on it.

You got me in tears when you talked about God but in a good way thank you!

Hi Tori, I really appreciate your video, i'm a Hawaii girl thinking of getting my first job. Going to a college at home ATM, This really helped me out. I'm gonna do it : )

I have a friend who went through this program. I had like a 2.5 gpa in high school, dropped out, got my GED, went to massage therapy school, discovered hard drugs, dropped out of massage therapy, got a couple years clean, and have made God the center of my life and recovery. I do believe now, at just over 2 years in, that my higher power is calling me to go back to school, however, I'm thinking of starting with an associates at a local community college as I want an in person experience. I'm currently a server and making okay money, but I have wanted to work at starbucks and take advantage of this opportunity since getting clean. Anyway, I really appreciate all your insights and it gave me a lot of hope. I really thought my life was over, and for a moment, it nearly was, but with this second chance at life I really want to respect and appreciate it more than I have in my past. I just turned 23 so school was a while ago, but it was also just yesterday. Anyway, God bless you and thank you

Thank you for inspiring me to finish mg degree !!! I’m 26 and starting in fall ❤️😂

Thank you SO MUCH for this video I'm working on going back and it's because God has pushed me towards helping others in the Med field so I'm finally finishing my bachelor's!!

Are you should to keep working in Starbucks during the education¿ or on the other work.. how long does it take to graduate¿ thank you for video

"I don't really need to knw,because I trust Him" *Subsribe and bell notif turned on*

Hmm there seems to be a lot of these type of programs in Hawaii. I work in the banking industry and they do tuition reimbursement but I already have a degree but to be honest I don’t think a degree is all that anymore and I think I would be where I am today if I just worked and got relevant experience versus wasting time and money in school.

❤

Should I attend asu for phd ? Do you recommend it?

Please do an update :)

Love your story and love for God

are u still in schoolZ? can u do an updated. video plzz

Great video! Can I ask what camera you used to film?

AMAZING VIDEO! Can't wait to see what God has in store for you in the future :]

It’s only online right?

Does it have to be online or can you do on Campus with the SCAP ?

Needed to see this. I’m 27, an asu student and this debt is killing me. I’m disabled but I’m really thinking about applying to my local Starbucks. Do you think I have a chance at Starbucks being disabled? I sometimes have a hard time remembering things off the top of my head. The complicated orders worry me 😆

I’ve been a partner for 5 years and I’m debating to either finish my ASU to deal with the burnout or find a better job and pay all of the tuition then.

Did you retake your SAT or ACT before or after applying or did you use your original score from HS? I’m wondering if I can retake the ACT this year and use that score to apply with. :) Thank you for the video, it was very helpful!

Can a high schooler take courses as well? If they are working at Starbucks in hs.

I'm just confused about the fafsa. So, grants/financial aid pays forst, then starbucks pays whatevers left? Isn't that finanical aid loan we have to pay back?

Do they offer nursing without your adn?

Hey! What's your major?

I wasnt excepting the religious turn
