How Do You Get Out of This Situation?
After over eight years in my current job, I find myself in this situation. What options does one have to get out?
1. I am in a union
2. I am at the top of my pay scale and make more than the average pay for my job
3. There are only two positions in my department, mine and my bosses
4. The only other departments in which I would be qualified to work earn less than my current job
5. Promoting to my bosses job would mean leaving the union, only a 4% increase in pay, a 13 year venture to the top of that positions pay scale and a loss of a full weeks worth of vacation.
6. I can't afford to take a pay cut due to at home costs (which have already been cut down)
7. I don't have a college degree and my work hours don't allow for me to attend school
8. Even if I had time to attend school, I don't have the money due to my expenses
I would really like to get a college degree and move on to a position with more pay and more advancement opportunities but no matter how I look at it, I can't figure out how to accomplish this.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
