This is it in a nutshell. Too many people take a job that they have absolutely no interest in and wonder why years later, that their pay is almost the same and someone years younger is telling them to straighten their uniform and clean the counters. Any motivated adult in those sectors (retail / FMCG) should be aiming for a management role within two years, unless that is, they really don't care..
It's very hard for me to believe that in those environments (and like many here I started in one of them) that even when starting from scratch, a motivated person wouldn't be in a management position in under two years
