Why do you need an education when ur job doesn't recognize it?

That is the million dollar question. Where I work, they ask for a minimum of college credits. I have a Bachelors degree. A co-worker brought up the fact that she doesn't get paid for being bilingual. It got me to thinking. I started off with the same beginning salary even though I do have a degree. We don't get raises. If you're here for multiples of two years you get $20 extra in your paycheck after every 2nd year. No cost of living raise. A rare bonus when they feel u did something good after five or so years. BUT, here is the kicker, they're trying to get rid of jobs and take away our medical benefits. The majority of the people that work at my location have some sort of medical issue. I chose the wrong employer. I am being stifled. My intellect is going unnoticed. I'm stuck in the background with the underachievers that don't want to do anything but show up, let someone else do the work, and get paid for being lazy.
