good luck to Bucky on selecting the position that suits his needs the most...
wonder if the state university IT position comes with a defined benefit lifetime pension based on final salary and number of years of employment, like all the public education/service systems in CA offer? That's a significant carrot...
I think in MA public education and service systems are like those that you mention in CA. I know one kid working at Wally World that is going to college for free because his mom worked at the college he's attending. Plus he gets additional financial aid from a scholarship or something so he really doesn't have to work for money but his parents make him work a job. Good kid, smart, great work ethic. If I was a business owner, I'd hire him on those merits alone.
According to the job description's benefit package: "a choice of pension or 401(a), and supplemental plan retirement options."
Re: the tuition - "tuition remission for self, spouse, and dependent children"
Since my son will be graduating high school this coming spring and my daughter will be in 2 years, this is definitely a benefit that it's worth it's weight in gold. I'm not sure if it applies to the whole U-Mass system or just the specific college where you work at. I'd wash dishes for 6 years if it meant that both of my kids got free tuition for a 4 yr degree.
Not counting my chickens though, haven't even had the first screening interview yet.
