There are a lot of things about this industry that one just can't understand until doing the job.
On the one hand, if one keeps hoping it will get better at the next level, but then quits after reaching the pinnacle of his or her journey, then one has given it a shot, and found out.
On the other, if one quits while still at the bottom rungs of a career, one will never know and quits in ignorance.
If one isn't happy with the early rungs, one knows little or nothing of the view at the top of the ladder. If one climbs it and still doesn't like what's seen, it may be time to get off. For others, it's worth riding it out. It can be a well paying ladder.
