In your opinion, does every job have career potential?

Yes

Nope

I think if we're talking about a specific job at a specific company then that's obviously untrue. Some people stay stagnant professionally at a particular company for years on end, progression in this sense is too dependent on extraneous circumstances in my opinion.

However, if we're talking about job as in the profession or an occupation of an individual, I'm of the view that progression is possible in an industry you're in, whether that be a monetary progression or a positional one.

short answer no, however, any job has the potential to give you real world experience that you can build on.

No. Unless it's giving you skills and experience that'll lead to better things. People who move up the ladder in a company aren't the ones good at their job, they're the ones who get experience in things that they can use when a promotion comes up.

Yes but you have to be shooting for it as soon as you start. Most people just go to Walmart and watch customers at the self-checkout for years. You can become a billionaire at that company, and that's just one example.

Driving trucks for Walmart is actually a fantastic job. They’re actually one of the highest payers in the industry, believe it or not. Their truck drivers don’t make cents per mile, they make dollars per mile

[Iron_Man]

Being a dishwasher has no growth and no career potential it’s a dead end job where you can be fired or just quit at any given moment

[cavedweller1973]

Not every job but many do
