Help please,
I'm 19 and l've finished my L3 data technician apprenticeship. I'm titled as analyst doing audit for a syndicate in London but the company I work for isn't promoting me due to budgeting. I'm looking for other jobs however I have no idea what type of jobs I can go for as I don't have a degree. I don't want to limit myself to entry level jobs as i know i can offer more than the average 19yo. Any advice on what type of insurance jobs or sector I can go into? Many thanks :)

I need advice.
I work at an manufacturing company as a technician. My job title is a technician but they use me as an engineer as-well. There are three techs overall in the company. My boss who hired me understands what my degree is in so he uses me to design parts and write reports. The plant manager doesn’t know my skills so anytime I’m in the office working he calls me to the floor to do something the other techs can do. Should I have a talk with the boss about it? (I ran out of characters)
