[QUOTE="hondo, post: 2108330, member: 8661"] Um, generally speaking, there is very little advancement out of a part time supervisor position. And as far as your degree, while there there is a plant engineering department and undoubtedly some corporate level planning and coordination positions, I would imagine in this day and age most of the engineering work is done by vendors/contractors. I'm not saying it can't happen, but you should probably set a definite time line for yourself. Something like 6 months after graduation to make FT supe (start sending out resumes at 5 months). Then maybe 18-24 months to get into the PE dept (if you still want to work in your degree field). As a PT or even FT supe or manager, you won't have much leeway to do much of anything to 'do things better'. You are given a set of production numbers to meet, that is constantly being ratcheted up, typically without any improvement to the facilities/equipment that would facilitate you reaching these goals. Are you willing to falsify labor hours reported by doing production work as management? Are you willing to to falsify time codes or shave time from employees (steal their wages). Will you look the other way or even encourage employees to not follow the established work methods, even though employees' safety or the packages might be at risk? [/QUOTE]
