It's bigger than you think.

i have found most people that are "stuck" in a position are really afraid to take the leap required to move into a different career, unwilling to sacrifice what they do have to get something better, or just not confident enough to say "i can do that"
Don't forget that in order to get something better, sometimes it takes more than what that person has, and I don't mean "guts" either.

complaining about not be able to get a better job isn't pointless if one isn't committed enough to their own success to do what it takes to become qualified for a better position.
Not always that easy.
