We start out in life knowing no-one. Shortly most of us get to know members of our family, then we go to primary and high school then for some it’s off to college and university. Along the way we join clubs, teams and associations. We may attend our chosen place of worship which for some could be the pub or the gym! Then we go to work, sometimes in parallel with our education until we end up in our chosen careers.
When I started work all those decades ago the career you chose was meant to be for life, but this doesn’t seem to be the norm nowadays. In a recent keynote speech Reid Hoffman co-founder of Linkedin said;
“Part of the thesis that LinkedIn was founded on is that every individual is now becoming a small business. What do I mean by that? A typical job lasts two to four years, so that there is a sequence of jobs.”
So you move from your first job to the next and so on until we finally retire.
