i find it hard to believe that one can increase their income by quantum jumps in this climate of zero yearly raises, 5% if you're lucky.
the only way to jump your income seems to be changing jobs, which sucks, because you are leaving the employer who gave you that on-the-job experience (and training), but then again, employers should do more to retain their good employees instead of letting them jump ship for better opportunities.
seems like the only way to really make money is to run your own business, but as many of you know, the risks are high, and the money isn't always steady or good. hours are longer, but payoff can be greater.
work ethic has surely changed over the past 50 years, but so has the fact that employers would keep their employees until retirement and pay them a pension, offer health benefits, and so on.
i fear we have moved toward a McJob nation.
