Does this sound like a lot of jobs in a life time?

Question

I haved worked 40 differant jobs over my life from 1968 to 2007. My doctor concern as I get older. I will have more of a difficult time.I am on a job search.

Answer 1

No it doesn't. Why should you be stuck on a job that you don't like. Besides it must be fun meeting different people all the time♠

Answer 2

I don't understand why your doctor would care. EVERYTHING A PERSON DOES IS NOT A MEDICAL ISSUE.  Are they going to come up with a PILL for this issue too!!!!!!!

As a person who has run MANY companies over the past 20 years (some with 500+ employees) I would not hire you based on your work history.

Anyone that hires (that has any insight into hiring) will know that the "odds" are you will not work for them any longer than you did at your prior jobs. If a company wants to place someone permanently, you are not a candidate based on your history. Stop changing jobs. In 30 years you should be able to figure out what you like to do for work!!!!!!

Answer 3

We can only assume that the 40 different jobs over a span of 39 years is due to you not wanting a permanent career opportunity.  Your doctor's major concern is your ability to still find another 40 new different jobs when you pass the age of 40 since there is a lot of age discrimination out there which may result in increased stress and ultimately, create some health issues, such as anxiety, ulcers, heart disease, etc.  May I suggest that you start up your own business since you have a background in many fields which bodes well with understanding the human condition.

P.S.  I just viewed your profile and as a Nurses Aide that explains why you have so many jobs in 40 years!

Good luck!
