A job for life is an alien concept

Having the same job for a lifetime is both a challenge and a

boredom. There are people who want to have the same job
forever and others who struggle to have a possibility of
changing professionally.
If we think of those whose job is mainly physical, it’s easy to
understand that their career will soon be over, for example
ballet dancers, football players, etc. Nevertheless, if we
consider those who want to progress in their careers and try
to achieve the highest position in an enterprise, it would be
easy to perceive that they would keep their job, and,
persistently tackle everything and everybody they find in their
way, in order to get there.
My mother, for instance, had a life-changing opportunity, when
she was around forty. She stopped being a secretary from the
board of a multinational company and embraced the idea of
becoming a teacher. From that moment on, she has been
teaching (ranging from kids to adults). Now, almost turning
fifty, she’s thinking of applying for a course of clinical
psychology in the university, because she feels like helping
people in general.
According to the above mentioned, we may consider that this
matter depends entirely, not only on each one of us, but also,
on how our life’s perspective is continuously evolving and
having effect on people.
