It's unrealistic. It happens - but rarely - and it can ONLY be rarely, because a relatively small and finite number of these high-paying positions exist at all. Certainly not enough for every hard-working fresh-faced newstart to get there. There are obviously other elements involved. Personal gifts like exceptional charisma, something that not everyone can learn no matter how hard they work, would be one element. Another is simple dumb luck and that's something that, for some reason, people just don't like to admit. Being at the right place, working in the right store, getting to know the right people who happen to be there, all play a part for "ladder climbers".

I agree with alot of this, that said if you don't get out there and do something it will definately never happen
