With Thanksgiving behind us, we are officially in the holiday season. For many, the holidays and the New Year mean a time of reflection and maybe some change. That could even mean looking at a new career or job. For younger people, it’s general easier to prepare for a career change. But it may seem daunting for those who are decades into their current career. U.S. government research suggests that a “job for life” is now a rarity, with college graduates between 18 and 46 likely to have around 12 jobs during their careers. What’s more, the survey showed that, of the jobs started by 40 to 46 year olds, 33% ended in less than a year. Kate Schaefers is the director of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Minnesota. She joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about how to navigate later-life career transitions.
