I saw that at Wal~Mart the two summers I worked there. There were a handful of kids like me, who were home from college, just marking time and earning gas money. Then there were the lifers, people who's highest ambition was to make department lead, or maybe assistant manager if they were really ambitious.
I can kind of see how you fall into the trap, though. You graduate from high school (maybe), but don't have the aptitude, financial means, or ambition to go on to college, so you take whatever job you can get. Finding a better one can be close to impossible when you have no real skills, no education beyond the bare minimum, and no resume to speak of. Getting more education would be a way out, but if you're already living paycheck to paycheck, even getting an HVAC or medical assistant certificate may be out of the question. No doubt that for a lot of people, the biggest barrier is psychological. But for people without any kind of support network, I can see how it's possible to get stuck.
