"resetting your career" isn't any kind of threat when the reset would start higher than their current situation. More likely, there's no way out except resetting your life outside of that town in Wisconsin. And there really aren't that many good software jobs out there for the skill levels that accept jobs at Meditech/EPIC

This assumes that everyone's skill level is fixed coming out of college, and that the interview process doesn't produce false negatives to let people fall through the cracks.

Those are both really unfortunate assumptions.
