They might get their own "office", but they'll never be anything other than a local salesman -- they'll not be asked to move up to middle management, or to corporate.

Yeah, they might have their own brokerage office, but that's all they'll ever have, and they'll forever be passing out their business cards at the local gym when they go to work out and try get rid of the hundred pounds of beer fat they added after their trophy wife had their third child and he realized what a truly empty, vacuous, non-meaningful life of dreariness and broken hopes, hopes pushed into him since his childhood by his equally failure father, he's lived.
