Answer 1

I had sort of the same thing happen to me. I don't have a degree but I was working in the marketing department of a major company. The Director really didn't do a whole lot so in a sense I was running it. I was thouroughly trained by the prior marketing specialist and doing a good job in marketing plus I was a receptionist but because of the fact that I didn't have a degree, the CEO hired someone with a masters degree to fill the position that I already proved I could do. I did leave (on good terms) and the marketing department fell apart. They didn't realize how much work I was putting into it. If I were you, I would look for a career worthy of your skills and experience. You could do much better. Don't sell yourself short. Good luck!

This painful event happens all too often, I'm afraid. But don't get crazy and quit or say anything you'll regret later. Work your current job until you find another, better job. Be sure to let your new employer know you want to move upwards in the company. Employers appreciate that kind of ambition in employees.
