How many times have you changed jobs?

I used to have more frequent jobs when I was younger.. a year here or there.. and I had a few that lasted 3 years a piece. But then I got stuck in this job.. and in one more day.. I will have been here for 19 years.. is that good.. who knows? the pay is certainly not the greatest... but I work alone.. at night and no one bothers me and I get to use the internet.. it has worked out for me.. and now I feel I am too old to try and go out into the workplace again.. I think I stay for convenience sake.

Older generations often stuck with the one job for life but the whole mindset seems to have changed now.

My frist job was in a bank until I resigned after more than 15 years for a greener pasture. But I never got a sponsor to have me as caregiver in Canada, so I went back to our province, only to be told by my husband and daughter that they don't want living abroad. Thus, I had this job. But a year after I retired when I was in Manila waiting for a sponsor online, I worked at SM Leisure center as Accounting Officer. I had 4 jobs all in all. And in my present job, I am already in my 11th year.

I have worked for about 20 companies - often through agencies - currently out of work

My father stayed with the same company since he started to work until he retired, it was common also in Italy back in time. I changed job twice, then I started working with my husband and always did.

i am a nurse, since 1981, but so far, i have only 3 workplaces. first was the secondary hospital where i was the head nurse, next was in Kuwait, and last is this school/college of nursing where i am a clinical instructor.

Although I have changed jobs but I'm leaning toward the Japanese. I tend to stay with the same company for a long time. I've been in the workforce for 30+ years and I think I've only moved to different major companies 3 times.

Been there done that. I was a hopper and it wasn't a good thing. I hope that I am cutting this curse. I stayed in one company for 5 years and got burned out. And after that, I was jumping from one company to another.

I can't imagine doing the same thing for forty years. I personally have been permanently disabled since 1996. My husband worked for a company for 23 years and they shut the plant down and out he went. He was on unemployment until he found a job at a grocery store, then it was construction, then it was a nightmare job that had swing shift which he worked at for 3 long years. He is now retired working a part time job which is up and down some times he works 32 hours and sometimes he doesn't work at all. It's very unpredictable and its construction work. Some days he comes home looking like he was pulled through a knot, poor guy. I wished he had a job that was less physically demanding. Who knows what God will do! I am believing for an easier job for him that is flexible.

I was a teacher for 40 years. New people and excitement every year!

I've had so many jobs in my lifetime @sol_cee ; sometimes 2 at a time. The 2 things I really wanted to do, I couldn't. Military: not allowed because I had a young child at the time. Police Officer: I was a female but the wrong nationality.

Not counting menial jobs I've had in high school and college, I have had a career in teaching. I taught in the same school until I had my first child, then was a stay at home mom. When I returned to teaching, worked in a different school system and three different school. I was never bored and have made many wonderful long time friends.

I don't have a job that lasted for 1 year, it will take 5 years for me to stay in a company. My first job was a collector and I spent 5 years before leaving them. The second one was my call center life for 5 years.

Same place and doing the same thing for that long doesn't sound so exciting but it must build good relationships for sure :)

I did change my jobs a couple of times. One main reason, I am not growing in my previous jobs.

I can't say exciting, but they certainly have staying power. I am freelance but many of my friends have worked for the same company for 20 to 28 years.

She won't have a stable job and when she retires, she will have less to receive.There are people like that.e cannot change the programs of their mind

To be able to stay in one company for life is incredible. On the other hand, a person can't grow to their full potential or blossom as much if they stay in the same place for so many years. Plus, they can't grow much salary-wise if they stay in the same company, unless they get promoted to a higher paying position.

I have changed jobs many times when I was no longer happy with them. This time for 10 years, I am in the same part time job because I am happy with what I am doing now.

It's not much exciting, I have changed my job at least 5 times
