My parents kept the same jobs my entire life. Anyone else?
Part of me feels like I should either stay at my current job or be looking for an ideal “forever job”, instead of trying to find better opportunities and seeing what sticks. I couldn’t figure out why until I realized both my parents worked the same jobs for my entire life up basically, and that has been my template for a career.
Is “job hopping” a younger generation thing? Was company loyalty common among your parents? I’m not even sure that it was company loyalty, or just feeling comfortable where they were and not wanting to move around with kids.
