I wrote for the Gloss today about a conversation I had with my youngest cousin who just graduated college about work, namely how to find something to do with your time that pays the bills and is reasonably fulfilling. My own career path since college has been a windy one and I haven't moved around half as much as some people my age. It used to be that people got a job after school and stayed in it until retirement. I can't say I know a single person over the age of twenty-six who has only worked for only one company. Is all this moving around a good thing? Does it help us value our own skills more or just value loyalty less?
Do you change it up or stay put?
I've actually only been in one job since graduating undergrad and while some of the perks are nice (4 weeks of vacation), I do get that desire to shake some things up. So, who knows what the future will bring.
