My Promotion
#1
I hardly visit this forum anymore, but for anyone who remembers me, I got a promotion. I am now a Production Control Specialist. I have my own little cubicle now, and I do all the scheduling for the production department where I used to work. I got a decent raise. (I'm about 50% above starting rate of pay now.) I no longer have to work in the manufacturing part, wear safety gear, or work overtime unless I want to. I really like it so far.

A soon as I found out I got the job, I signed up at my local cc to get my MS Excel certification and started an Intro. to Logistics class. I know a lot of people here poo-poo taking cc classes after obtaining a baccalaureate, but I'm finding it helpful for my new position, and I like the structure of it to keep me motivated. I intend to keep taking classes in supply chain management and logistics for as long as it continues to be interesting and helpful.

I do think my B.S. helped me to get this job, combined with my work experience. The first thing they look at, though, is attendance. All applicants who were over a certain number of days absent weren't even interviewed. So just keep that in mind, I guess, if anyone wants to move up in manufacturing. Perfect attendance helps!

Congratulations, and the idea of thinking taking CC classes after a bachelors degree silly is, well, silly. Classes are one way to stay current with what's happening in your field, etc. Not staying current is silly.

Great job! You may want to eventually look into a Masters in Supply Chain Management. See if your company will pay for it. Penn State World Campus has a very respected program in SCM and it awarded out of the Smeal College of Business, but it is pricey.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.

Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.

Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.

Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.

Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
