My job title is lead person for a welding shop. We haven't been able to keep a supervisor or material handler. My job has so many hats my head spins. I do lead, acting supervisor, dock hand, nurse, receptionist and whatever isn't direct labor, Sometimes even the direct labor. I love the work I do, but don't seem to get anywhere. Due to a slowdown all overtime has been cut and my wages were cut a few months ago due to a "new policy". I got part way to a business degree and quit because I saw no way to continue with lack of money. My girlfriends work pays for her schooling so she is going for business administration. While at the college she found out that I'm eligible for student loans and grants that I knew nothing about.

Looks like I will also be going full time next semester. I can't wait!! Even if it doesn't get me a promotion here, it will get me a better job somewhere. I love the people I work with, but due to losing overtime my pay is down 2 - 300 a week. I am ready
