Usually, the entrapment isn’t purely professional as some of the replies illustrate. It’s more that the constraints of (some combination of) marriage, kids, aging parents, health issues, debt, financial pressures, moral concerns (what you are and aren’t willing to do), etc combine to create an unsolvable system. But life is not a math problem, and the things that seem inflexible often turn out to be very much so. Good luck out there, and ignore most of this advice. :) Everyone has to find their own way.
