More importantly, is this a sign that people cannot maintain or hold their positions like they used to? The short answer to this is yes.

Even certain professional or <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/technology-professionals-now-replaceable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">white-collar roles are vulnerable<\/a> to being replaced by technology.

Further, when the vocation doesn\u2019t have the perks they were hoping for they move on.\u00a0 As a Career Coach, I do believe that doing satisfying work is a worthy end goal, so I don\u2019t blame younger generations for wanting more. With that said, I understand the principle of delayed gratification and I know that sometimes we have to pay our dues professionally before we can have highly desirable jobs or careers.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I have heard the common expression \u201cwork is work \u2026 it\u2019s not supposed to be fun \u2026 that\u2019s why it\u2019s called work and not leisure.\u201d I\u2019m not advocating that everyone drop their jobs\/careers because work can be stressful or hard at times. But, having <em>fun<\/em> isn\u2019t the same as being <em>content<\/em> with your place of work.<\/p>\n<p>I had one younger client in her mid-twenties who had just landed what she thought would be a solid government position, with benefits, a pension and paid holidays. She described the work as soul-crushing and the hierarchy and bureaucracy were making things overly tedious. The position did not allow her to make much use of her talents or strengths. She felt she wasn\u2019t working up to her potential and felt overqualified for her duties. This led to strong feelings of frustration and boredom. This was not an entitled \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Snowflake_(slang)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">snowflake<\/a>\u2019, millennial problem as some people would assume. Many mature workers or people from older generations have had the same unsatisfying experiences working in jobs or fields that were not best suited for <em>them.<\/em> Ultimately, when people know that they are meant for bigger challenges, they search them out \u2026 or they become resigned to their circumstances and stick around for the long term.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/brendan-church-182747-unsplash.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-8174\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/brendan-church-182747-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"work related choices can be confusing\" width=\"459\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/brendan-church-182747-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/brendan-church-182747-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/brendan-church-182747-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/brendan-church-182747-unsplash-1080x720.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 459px) 100vw, 459px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When we\u2019re lucky (or courageous enough) we do not consider a job as just a job, because it\u2019s a place or activity to which we devote most of our time. Its environment can lift us up or bring us to our knees. It can move you forward or hold you back, and the workload itself can either foster your mind or weaken it. That isn\u2019t something I think anyone should\u00a0take too\u00a0lightly.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, with new technologies, industries, work roles, and businesses sprouting up daily it makes sense that we have more options available to us for making career changes. So, part of the increased job\/career switching looks like it will continue to be inevitable. But, I believe that most people who find the right work for <em>them<\/em> usually don\u2019t have the desire to continue searching for other options.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Job versus Career<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I realize that I\u2019ve been using the words job and career interchangeably, but there are some major distinctions. A career usually implies long-term employment with increasing development and responsibility over time. A job is often described as a shorter-term situation with a focus on collecting a paycheck rather than gathering experiences <em>(click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.officevibe.com\/blog\/job-vs-career\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> to see an infographic that shows other differences between jobs and careers)<\/em>. For more reasons than I can go into here, not everyone has the privilege to <em>choose<\/em> the work that they do. But, when possible, I advocate finding work that brings some satisfaction. \u00a0Whether it is a high paying career or a job that just pays the bills there is room to grow (happily) in the places we work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you ever wished you could get inside the head of a hiring manager?
