Now, young adults can expect not just to change jobs, but to change careers, three to six times, due to the structural changes that are underway now. Not to mention the structural changes over the past 20 years—in cable, in print media, transportation and more, in addition to the changes due and coming as a result of Covid. Our guest mentor today, Rob Barnett, has real-time solutions that have helped everyone with whom he’s worked. These solutions can help you or someone you know, too!
