A
A survey commissioned recently suggests that the
notion of a job for life is disappearing rapidly. It
revealed that a quarter of people in the 1621 age
range do not expect to follow the same career for
their entire working lives. They are more interested
in following different careers at different stages of
their lives than doing the same job until they retire.
B
Traditionally, people began a particular job or
profession after school or university and continued
to work until their sixties. Some think that the
situation was better then. Peoples lives arent as
secure as they used to be, says Trevor Small, 72.
How can anyone make plans or save if they dont
know whether their job is going to continue to exist?
C
On the other hand, many young people are excited
by the possibilities. I couldnt do the same thing for
fifty years, said Ella Reilly. It would be so tedious. I
want to be able to change careers or go travelling.
People moan about not having job security, but lifes
more challenging and varied that way.
