I don't understand how people would stay at a low-paying or (what I see as) non-fulfulling job for very long. Don't these people want to grow? Aren't the curious as to what else is out there? Forget the chances for more pay, benefits, etc.
A lot of people see work as a necessary evil to support their real life, away from work. They want to grow, too, but perhaps they prefer a mountain hike or going to soccer training with their daughter instead of reading the release notes for the next OS X.
You should try it.
Why stay at SuperBurger forever when MegaBurger opens up or you could even move up to making burgers at the fancy sit-down place down the road? You're not affecting father-daughter time since you're not at home working on burgers with all your free time or going to burger conferences instead of having daddy-daughter time.
Statistically-speaking, that is by far the most common response, because most people are not "highly successful people".
In the world of work? Not in the slightest.
I'd love to be a mathematician, or cryptographer, or pilot. But I don't have the mindset or qualifications and never will have. In that case, best to just slog away during the day and 'grow' outside work.
