Does what you have said...have any correlation to "climbing the ladder"...in the mormon religion?
When I got my first "calling", it was as a Primary teacher. It was explained to me that I was to teach the boys so that I could learn the basics, then move up to the quorom above mine and continue to learn, etc.
I don't know if that equates to "climbing the ladder" as you put it. Nor could I give you an accurate assessment on that since I quite after about 6 years.
Are you referring to something akin to "advancement" within the LdS hierarchy?
