It is not uncommon for talented young people today to change jobs in less than a year. This has become commonplace at a time when a majority of the young workforce finds itself not just unemployed, but with fewer and fewer job prospects.
All jobs today are temporary jobs and everyone is expendable.
To believe otherwise is foolhardy. Which leaves most employed folks with the dilemma how to cope with the rocky road between their first hire and the retirement party. Fueling these rapid changes in our job prospects and the way we handle future challenges are almost daily advances in technology. Computers and computer assisted processes are increasingly relegating human intervention to supervising operations we can barely understand any more. Modern civilisation and the tools which facilitate it are the product of a few thousand clever minds left to the implementation of millions of relative idiots.
