The days when you could count on a lifetime career with one company are largely gone. Even industries once considered “safe” are experiencing disruption.
- Job security is increasingly rare. Layoffs, downsizing, and restructuring have become common corporate strategies, often leaving loyal employees scrambling for new positions.
- Traditional retirement plans are less reliable. The concern about Social Security reflects a broader anxiety about whether traditional retirement systems can be counted on.
- Healthcare costs continue to climb. With 59% of Americans worried about healthcare costs, many stay in unfulfilling jobs simply for the benefits.
- Economic volatility creates constant uncertainty. Economic factors beyond our control, from inflation to interest rates, can quickly change our financial landscape.
But many people miss the point: while these challenges are real, they also create space for new approaches to career planning.
