You know different career advisers than I. The challenge is for those who don’t know or find what they love early on. How do they cope with the interest to (somewhat carelessly) bounce from job path to job path, especially when that behaviour has been seeded in advance? The real key, no matter how we slice it, is to work hard to become good at something unique and valuable.

The average person will have worked in two or three fields and have multiple jobs. If you think about young workers, they often have worked in retail and fastfood before moving into a chosen field. BLS is now sifting data from retiring Boomers. Boomers averaged 10 jobs throughout their careers.

One problem is the double meaning of the word career. It is used to indicate total time in the world of work and to mean field.

The ideal is to find a field one loves before graduating from high school and spend time moving from job to better job in that field.
