I think it's a case of different people having different priorities. For example, I have zero interest in career advancement. I just want to draw a paycheck so I don't end up homeless and so I can afford to buy the occasional cool gadget. It'd be nice if my work was interesting so I'm not completely bored while I'm working for my paycheck, but advancement is definitely at the bottom of my list of what to look for in a job.
