Want a Career Change? You're in Good Company
It used to be that workers would graduate college, find a good company to work for, and stay put until retirement eventually rolled around. These days, however, it's not unusual for employees to jump ship the second a new job offer comes up.
But job-hopping isn't the only workforce trend we're experiencing; a growing number of workers are looking to leave not only their companies but their careers as well. In fact, a recent survey by the University of Phoenix found that more than 50% of U.S. adults are interested in changing careers.
Not surprisingly, younger workers in their 20s are most likely to want a switch, with 86% saying they're contemplating a major move. But older workers aren't too far behind. In fact, 66% of those in their 30s claim they're looking to change careers, while 60% of workers in their 40s feel the same.
