Hire 10% of the people that interview? Only the "best of the best" right? Where did you get that number from? I know the region I worked in the number was considerably higher than that, and I'd seriously hesitate to call some of the people I worked with "the best of the best".

You think so? Good for you for having goals, but there are just too many qualified people and not enough spots. There's being competitive, and then there's being completely unrealistic. You really think you're in the 1% or less that make it to RVP? Are you willing to bet your entire career on that? Are you willing to seriously consider what your life will be like when you're 45, you've spent your entire adult life working 60 hours a week, you have no real world experience outside of Enterprise and you're stuck waiting for someone to retire or get fired just so you can move up? And as far as having all the luxuries you can ever want, I don't even know how to respond to that. As the poster above said, if you think Enterprise is the way to financial freedom, you might wanna reconsider that before it's too late.

Take it in the ass for a few years? That's the problem with Enterprise employees. You're so brainwashed into thinking that the only way to be financially stable is to stay with the company and chase the dream, that you don't realize that you don't have to take it in the ass for your entire career just to be financially stable. I know, I know, all of your managers told you that Enterprise is the best career in the world, that no other company can give you the opportunity that Enterprise can. You know what? They lied. They also told you that the people who quit couldn't hack it, that they would never amount to anything because they didn't have the desire to succeed at Enterprise. Guess what? They lied again. Not everyone who leaves goes to work at Best Buy or Wal-Mart like they'd like you to believe. I hate to break it to you, but most of us move on to bigger and better things. I know it sucks to realize that people can actually have a career they enjoy, a life outside of work and be financially stable all at the same time. It makes even tougher when your life revolves around your job at Enterprise, where as you said earlier you'll be "taking it in the ass" for the next couple years.
If you really like what you do at Enterprise, then good for you. If you don't and you're just trying to grind it out for that big payday in the future, I hope you wake up before it's too late.
Now, go ahead and justify your job by quoting someone else's paycheck or telling me how much money you're going to make in the future.
