Whilst I understand the opinions raised about people getting a foot in the Door, whilst intending to use it only as a stepping stone to move on..that happens in all industries.
The problem often arises with 'Jobs for the Boys'...where people find it extremely hard to get a foot in the door, due to Jobs being passed down from one person to their mate, their mates Dog etc etc.

I wanted to work in IT originally...got my MCSE (a pretty high qualification in the industry)...but was shafted left, right and centre, wasting my time going to interviews, merely to make up the numbers...because Joe Blogg's mate in admin, wants to fix computers.

I have just turned down a job, working as a manager in a computer shop, to follow my dream of working Airside...I actually felt good about myself, because it has allowed someone else, who probably really wants that job, to get it.
