Windypops,
I think you should 'rephrase'... there are too many clowns willing to work for nothing or even pay to work, and unfortunately those guys usually get further than other decent, hard working guys.
I don't know what's your situation, but maybe next time you need to look for a job, the company you join asks you to pay for your captain upgrade, or your present company will try to undercut your deal because there's a bunch of guys willing to work for 1/2 of what you earn.
I would love to see if you would still keep your 'can do' 'go getter' 'positive' attitude.
