I can def see that perspective. I'm not trying to feel entitled to anything. I'd like to move up quickly, yes, but relative to what I'm doing. I don't expect it to happen overnight.

Take it from a towing company's perspective. They don't want to hire career deckhands/tankermen. The point is to groom employees towards making it into the wheelhouse. Someone with a college degree, that can't find work in this economy, might be a great candidate for upward mobility.

We recently hired a Tulane Grad that couldn't find work. Granted, he had some bullshite environmental science degree. Theoretically, he could be making well into six figures in 5-6 years. Not bad for someone under 30.
