Today, I didn't get the promotion I interviewed for at work. A guy who's worked here for only two months did. My supervisor's reason: she doesn't think I'm going to amount to anything. I work at Home Depot to pay my way for college. FML

OP here just to clarify a few things. The position was just part time supervising other cashiers and making sure they get their breaks on time. I've been with the store two years now but life goes on. As for college I take all my classes online and any classes I have to take on campus I have down to just going one day a week, so I can get hours to take care of my daughter.I was more offended by her comment but she can think whatever she wants.

I'm sure you're more qualified, but she's probably looking for someone more long term. Since you'll probably leave when you have a better job opportunity in the future.

I'm sure that you'll be laughing at them once you get your degree and move on to bigger and better things!

You'll be gone after college. You're not worth the investment.

I've had that happen to me. When they started, I trained them up! Maybe I'm too good a trainer for my own good...

I love how some people think "going to college" automatically means they'll be successful. It doesn't dude. I dropped out of high school and make more money then my university degree sister. Successful people have a particular mentality. Maybe you just lack that.

Depending on the degree, college usually makes more. If your sister has a liberal arts degree, probably explains why a non graduate would make more. However STEM majors is where real money, outside entrepreneurship is. College is investing in your future if you do it intelligently

If you're working your way through college you presumably can't give the commitment a supervisory position demands.

Many people look at short time returns. OP the long term outlook with a college degree is much better. Never know some day you may be running the company.

When you get your degree and don't have to work at Home Depot for the rest of your life, you can show her how much you amount to.
