It's distressing how important career advancement is to some when the actual chances of career advancement tend to be low. You may be one of five people up for the promotion into management but that means four-fifths of the eligible workers are going to be disappointed.

If pay is not the issue then I'd rather start in a job I like, and do it for decades. And if money is an issue, then I'm not being paid enough starting.
