Work at One Place for Life? No Way.

by Daniel on January 18, 2010

Jody Brightman, SPP career services advisor wrote a great post earlier last week on careers. Many graduates are afraid of picking a place to work for the rest of their lives. In this day and age, we see much less of the work at one company for life as our parents did. The advancement of technology, knowledge, and the move to worker as a commodity is forcing workers to work in various jobs. It’s no longer a bad thing to “job hop” but rather a better way to learn different industries and different thought processes.

Just as a real world example, I worked several jobs in college, one internship in graduate school, and two professional jobs before finding the right job for me. Each time I went from one job to the next, I got smarter, learning from my past experiences to enhance my present experience.

James, I think your cover's blown!
