Career decisions

I've been reading a book by Penelope Trunk called "The Brazen Careerist". She states that the new generation will probably have 10 jobs by the time they are 28. Do you agree with this? What kind of implications does this have for making career choices?

This generation does not take a job with the intent of staying for 30 years. They see each job as a rung on a ladder to bigger and better things. If you look at career exploration this way, it is not unreasonble, then to be unsure about your job/career choices when you are young. It is normal. She says most students don't settle their choices about their future until they are around 25. If you are younger than 25, it is normal not to know!!!!
