Profession-Related Discounts: Where Teachers, Nurses, First Responders, Students and Active-Duty Military Can Save Money This Holiday Season
Most people work hard in their chosen career field, but there are perks for those in certain occupations. Many companies offer discounts to nurses, doctors, teachers, first responders, and members of the military. Some stores also offer student discounts, presumably to get their products out to more college campuses and build a following of young consumers.
If you work in one of these fields (or are a student), where can you find discounts of 10% or more as the holidays approach?
