Will biotechnology companies usually pay for you to get your masters and doctorate?

I am interested in biomedical research and biotechnology, but I know that many jobs in this area require doctorates. Can you get a job with a company after college and then go for your higher degrees with their financial support? If not, how do most people pay for all of these things?

  1. Welcome to the land of working while you are in school to pay for the things not covered by your student loans.
  2. Masters - maybe paid for by company, most masters you have to pay for yourself. PhD - nearly every single PhD student in the sciences has tuition paid for and receives a stipend for working in a lab. No one actually pays for their own PhD. Downside: 5-8 years of 60 hour weeks getting paid at most 20-30k/year.
