This reminds me of a joke about a violist who finds a magic lamp and asks to become a better musician. Promotion depends on perspective.

Yes, subject to minor variations. The version I heard had him going from the back of the section in a community (amateur) orchestra to playing in the Toronto Symphony to leading the viola section in the Berlin Philharmonic -- and making the same wish ("make me a better musician") each time.
