Pundits predict that those entering the business world will switch careers as many as six times in their lifetimes (maybe even more); that’s “careers,” not jobs. I don’t know where the pundits got their numbers, and I don’t really care. Truth be told, I don’t know how one even becomes a pundit, but I suspect it pays less than a rodeo clown makes.
Regardless, six careers are a scary prediction: It’s tough enough managing one career, let alone six, but I don’t worry about it. I’ve had something like 30 jobs in my life (I started working when I was 13 or 14 and sometimes worked three jobs at a time).
