It's all up to that individual. For instance, I had a job for 5 years ( they even had a retirement plan!) and even though I liked it, I knew I had to leave because it was not my CAREER as well as a dead end. I also knew I had outgrown the position and could not advance any further nor were they willing to pay the salary that I wanted.
Not to mention for what they were paying me, it indirectly was killing some of my dating prospects as well as hindering my cost of living....HA!
And sometimes I think when we date someone we have to distinguish early on if the person we are with is working at a job or working in their career field. Does our career field make us content with what we are doing and take care of us and so on. Because let's face it, there are also some dead end career fields too 
This is all coming back into a giant circle...hehe |
Oh yeah, I'm sure McDonald's and Taco Hell do have retirement plans, but the question is how much can your average everyday taco maker invest in herself/himself? Umm, like 1%--if that.
The only companies I know who want people to move on are the people who aren't very productive. I mean, why would any company want a good employee who produces, to leave? Move up, yeah. But to leave? I don't understand that.
Daemon, I understand what you're saying about dating, and I'm all for dating a guy if he's happy in his "career", but if he's working at a "job" and he's been there for a number of years and he doesn't have a plan for his future, then how can he even know where he's going? Seriously. I mean, give me one reason why I would find a guy like that interesting? I personally don't see anything wrong with not wanting to date a guy who isn't going anywhere.
I think when we're dating we have to distinguish early on a lot of things, and most of that comes with time. I mean, what someone does for a living is one of the first topics we ask/talk about. I mean, even in college, one of the first questions or topics that come up on a date are majors/minors/goals etc. So, the first date or even just being introduced to that person can determine if you even want to go out on one date with them. Ya know what mean? It's just that I think it's about what you look for in a potential partner. Finance, sex, and communication are the 3 biggest causes of divorce. It takes two to make it work, so it depends on what you're looking for in the person you're dating.
