My mother became an accountant by being a secretary (administrative assistant) first. Her path went from secretary -> doing data entry -> employer paying for her to take accounting classes at night -> becoming a certified accountant. I know many other similar stories.
> The entry level job for being a CEO
Very few people are CEOs, it's not relevant when talking about jobs that uneducated people can do with potential upwards mobility
> attorney
A female assistant going from secretary -> paralegal -> attorney is definitely a thing.
> software developer
Is a rather specialised job in the grand scheme of things.
The point is, there IS NO entry level white collar work available to uneducated males. And all white collar work offers potential socioeconomic mobility.
