Overview
Moving upward requires you to utilize every resource you can find, including some of your friends. Now, this doesn't mean you should 'use' friends in the exploitative sense -- that's not your style -- but it does mean that you should feel free to extend your feelers and let it be known that you have certain goals and would appreciate help. Before the end of the day, chances are good that someone you already know will help you make everything happen. Expect a major upgrade.
