Towards the end of the article “Network Economy,” it mentions how in recent years people with at least a two year college degree will change jobs seven time and revamp their skill and knowledge three times in their forty-three year work life. This new phenomenon has done away with what our parents were used to which is having a “steady job.” In the past people would work at one job and stay there practically their whole life. If they did not stay at the same job they would stay in the similar area or work.
In present day the ever changing technology contributes to our changing of jobs. As we grow in life and in knowledge we learn new things that interest us. I like how the reading described our current state as a way of “lifelong learning.” Now days no one is ever really happy with their jobs unless they have a chance to advance in the work place. I think the current state of the industry requires skilled workers for jobs because we have to be smart and be able to learn on the fly. Currently most jobs need specific skills and requirements. I think as technology has come along, so have we. We have become smarter and can now do many different jobs within our life time.
