Sadly, there are very few jobs available with advancement opportunity anymore.
There are very few jobs available that even provide a middle class lifestyle. We've decimated our country with both outsourcing and insourcing.
We've certainly chased away investment dollars and jobs with regressive gov't regulations and taxes and unions haven't helped but there are still plenty of advancement opportunities for those with ambition and skills.
Bulcrap. The bell is not as big as it once was, admit it. We have far more at either end than we have in the middle.
I repeat: "We've certainly chased away investment dollars and jobs with regressive gov't regulations and taxes and unions haven't helped..."
That means there would be more jobs and opportunities but we've shot ourselves in the foot by allowing gov't and unions to screw things up.
That said there are still plenty of advancement opportunities for those with ambition and skills. Perhaps that's just not you.
