CMP Finding a career in these first years of the twenty-first century is extraordinarily challenging.
Many factors combine to make it difficult.
The list of marketable careers is changing. Old occupations are becoming obsolete. At the same time, new ones are springing up, frequently connected with developing technology. The identity of the company is changing. No longer is it possible to find safe harbor in the sheltering arms of a large corporation, where you enter at 21 and emerge 44 years later with a gold watch and fond memories.
