Today, I found out that a co-worker of mine that I had originally hired, trained, and mentored to work in my department for the past 4 years had just got the promotion that I had applied for. He is now my boss. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I found out that a co-worker has been promoted to Store Manager. She has been here for less than 6 months, and I have been with the company for 10 years. Guess who has been training her for the last 6 months. FML

Today, the only colleague I dislike was promoted to be my manager. FML
Today, I learned that although I’m apparently not qualified to be a department supervisor, I’m entirely qualified to train the person who got the promotion over me, who has never worked in my department before. Boy, do I feel appreciated. FML
Today, my coworker and I agreed to come clean and tell our fellow employees that we have been secretly dating for a while. Before we could, I received a promotion. I'm now his boss. FML
Today, I worked a long shift at my job while feeling like crap, anticipating getting a promotion. As my boss was leaving work, he informed me that because I also go to college, the promotion was being given to another employee that I trained a month ago. This is the second time this has happened. FML
Today, my girlfriend who trained me at the job we both work at received a promotion, which left a spot for advancement. I was chosen for the position, and now the guy she's been cheating on me with is training me. Congrats. FML
Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I discovered my former boss from the job I quit 3 months is now my boss at my new job. He was the reason I quit my old job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I would rather a workplace hierachy based on merit than seniority.

lesson one: this is america, the better worker ends up on top (most of the time) lesson two: don't help people that work in the same career unless completely nessessary

Sorry for you, i know it hurts. But you know what to do next time: train and mentor less, that's all.

Heres an idea, Does he have a degree? Do you have a Degree? If he does and you dont, then go get one and then come on here and complain.

You just assume that the newer guy has a degree and OP doesn't? What if they both have degrees? What if OP has a degree and the other guy doesn't? What if neither have degrees?
