I'm glad someone mentioned almost word for word how I have been talking about this job to my few friends. That it is sucking my soul out day by day, and each individual day is easy to get through for the amount of money I make, but in the end that day led to presicely nowhere.
More background on the company I'm with. Its Japanese owned (TICO-toyota industrial company at 60% and Denso owning 40%). Slowly our benefits are trickling away, though they try to hide it. Examples of benefits going away: Birthday lunches gone, bonuses from ~1500 twice a year to 150+19 hours, minimizing overtime. Trying to cut $6,000,000 in cost this year alone. They admit over the next 5 years they see a decline in business, however they try to claim that building more of the sub-assemblies and small parts we assemble in shop will offset that.

I've thought about going into law enforcement, but honestly don't know what it would take, don't you need a criminal justice degree for that?

Edited to add: I take home about 950-1150 every other week, currently have $2800 in savings. Yes I currently live with my dad, but I try to help out with some of the bills, cause he's a cheap bastard that doesn't care about me wanting to go to school and thinks I'll just drop out. God I wish he would hurry up and die.
