I recently graduated with a Business Management Degree. I went to work for UPS as a supervisor after graduation seven months later I accepted a position with a smaller company as a management trainee for their sales department. My sales scores on their personalysis test were the highest they had ever seen. I scored a 28. While finishing their program I enrolled in a MBA program which I am now 8 months from completing. Now after completing the program they have no sales openings and want me to take a service supervisor position for 40% less than the equivalent sales position I am qualified for. I have been paying for my own MBA and have always enjoyed Marketing and economics courses the most. Needless to say as a sales guy I am not looking forward to this opportunity what would you do in this situation. PS: GPA in the MBA program is a 3.85

Trainee program was 1 year I have since been doing a range of projects for the company. I have been out of school as an undergrad for nearly 2 years (21months).

If they do not have a slot open for you, you can either wait, or leave the company. Just because you get an MBA and score well on tests, does not make them obligated to pay you more.
Find another job that will pay you what you think you are worth and then earn it.
PS: You can write off the expense of school on your taxes if you itemize. Hopefully, you learned that in MBA school.
Personally, many of the MBA candidates I have worked with didn't know their butts from a hole in the ground.
If you want your company to respect you and your credentials, you have to earn it.
