Back in the early 1990’s I was listening to a radio program. I had just graduated from college and feeling somewhat lost both in life and career. The radio announcer was interviewing a concert pianist. He asked the pianist when he knew that the piano was going to be a lifelong passion and career. The pianist said he knew at the age of 4!!

I remember being so despondent because I did not have this sort of clarity. I did not have a clear career path like this concert pianist. Lots of stops and starts. Jobs I kind of liked and jobs I certainly didn’t like.

Here are something interesting statistics about career change and transition. They typically have applicability to countries other than America

1. Average American has been in his or her job only 4 years

2. New college graduates can expect to have 5 careers during his or her lifetime. That’s not 5 jobs but 5 different and distinct careers in a lifetime

3. Average American will have 12-15 jobs in the course of those 5 careers

4. Ten years from now, half the working population will be in jobs that have not yet been invented

5. Ten years from now, half the working population will be in nontraditional forms of employment. Nontraditional is defined as not working full time and on payroll for one employer

6. 70% of Americans are unhappy with their job

What this tells us is that change is sometimes inevitable as we manage our career.  The above statistics show that 70% of Americans are unhappy with their job. These workers typically lack career direction and stability.

The goal of this eCourse is for you to be the 30% with  a career that is enjoyable, directed,  stable, and adds value to the world.
