You need to have the desire to do whatever it takes, even if it is a job you well and truly hate, to move up. That is it.

An education will help significantly in that endeavor. It really comes down to personal decisions people make and how much of a sacrifice they are willing to make to get out of where they are and into something better. It takes a lot of work.
