Purpose and benefits

It wasn’t so long ago that employment stability was the hallmark of emotional maturity and reliability. Changing jobs frequently, even within the scope of a single career path, was generally frowned on, unless the transition was on a clearly upward path. Changing careers entirely was almost unthinkable. The prevailing wisdom was: ‘Pick one thing, do it well, and put away your childish notions of further adventures into discovery.’

Now, however, most people are expected to change jobs several times during their working lives, and maybe their career. There are many reasons for this shift. We’re healthier and more productive longer so we have time to build a body of several types of work, not just one. The marketplace changes so rapidly that many careers are unrecognisable from their forms even five years ago, and some have disappeared altogether. Some people are being forced into career transitions. But most can’t resist the siren call of new discoveries and new opportunities to expand the frontiers of their potential.
