The length of a persons’ career will depend on the field they work in. However, over the course of a person’s lifetime, they will work on average 90,000 hours.
That is 45 Years of 40 hour work weeks with 2 weeks of vacation per year.
It is estimated that most people will have 12 jobs during their lives. In the last year, 32% of those 25 to 44 have considered a career change. Since starting their first job after college, 29% of people have completely changed fields.
One of the main factors for these changes is the desire for a salary increase (39%) or the interest in a different field (21%) and those looking for upward mobility came in at (20%).
