Most people in this position are there by choice, the rest are unlucky because they are disabled and the real unlucky ones are those who have been handed out a dire education courtesy of the socialist run education institutions.

Now whether they should develop a career strategy and devote their down time to studying etc the fact is the majority of people earn under the average wage (yes this is one case where an average is an aspiration for most) and will continue to do so, they have low job security and almost no financial buffers.
statistics show a good portion of people would run out of money in 18 days and have little or no higher education. These are the ones that these large multinationals prey on.

For the record, I do think a lot of people in this country from top to bottom don't manage their careers properly and drag out jobs that they should of ditched years ago for something new. Problem is, lower earners tend to have less choice in new roles.
