If you read any news or blog site today, you will know that all of our jobs are gone.
If you are sitting in a classroom right now, maybe in your fourth year, ready to get your first job, it is apparently gone, and there is nothing left for you.
The degree I graduated with from university is far from what I do today, where the jobs at the time were not there, so I looked elsewhere.
Where you start, where you are, is not where you have to end up.
But it won’t come easily, you’ll need to work to get there.
The model for your customers and our careers is changing. It’s hard to tell if it’s coming too quickly or not quickly enough – I don’t have a barometer to test against.
I think Blacksmiths were around for centuries, but they are few and far between now.
One thing that will never change is you, going out to find the work, the meaningful work, that you want to do. That Blacksmith had a town that would come to them, it doesn’t mean there wasn’t a better one in a town over.
If anything, we’ve all become seekers of jobs because they aren’t going to come to us anymore. The old adage of “start looking for your next job when you get your current one”, has never been more true.
