Abstract
WHAT IT MEANS TO PURSUE a career path in the current US work environment has changed in recent decades—namely, in that there is, in a sense, no such thing as a “career path.” Whereas jobs were once limited by the available technologies—and job opportunities were constrained by limited transportation systems, modes of communication, the tendency of individuals to take root where they were raised, and narrowly defined levels of education—some employment categories have been wiped out entirely, and there is no longer an expectation that workers will stay at the same job for life. Furthermore, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics—in data measured before the effects of the recession in the 2000s were seen—beginning with the youngest baby boomers, US workers hold an average of 11 jobs before age 42. 1 Keane T.
