I was fortunate to be invited to work in the position I currently hold. Not many people are asked to apply for a managerial position. In my company, most start as crew. I never had to go through that process, though. In fact, I was offered the job when I was already working for another company. I've worked hard since then to not be a disappointment to the supervisor who placed her faith in me.
Some of the managers have been talking about finding new work. For some reason, they aren't satisfied with their jobs, even though they only recently advanced from crew to manager and got a nice pay raise in the process. They are, in fact, putting their applications in to other places. For all I know, they are filling out San Francisco resumes and moving away. They are just not satisfied with either the job here or the location.
I think they'll find, though, that where ever they work, there are both bad and good things. A job, and your life, is pretty well what you make of it and depends on your own attitude and goals going in. No job can be more than you put into it. Working toward the success of your employer is one way to achieve in better success for yourself.
The other is, of course, developing your own niche business and not having an employer at all.
