An increasing number of people are changing their careers.

What are the reasons? Do you think it is positive or negative?

Nowadays, many young people tend to change their jobs very frequently. Several factors contribute to the phenomenon and I think it is a positive phenomenon as a whole.

Young people change their jobs for many reasons. Some young employees’ goal is to work in different kinds of companies to accumulate experience and gain a wide relationship network. In this way, they can have the advantageous background and have better chances of getting high-paying jobs than others. Another reason is that many young generations are more curious about new careers. Unlike their previous generations who were used to sticking with one job, young people nowadays are more willing to challenge themselves and break the status quo. Apart from that, it is not uncommon that some young employees lack career plans and blindly pursue well-paid jobs that are not suitable for them.

Pursuing new jobs has many advantages. Being exposed to various working fields, young people can broaden their experience and acquire new skills. In addition, fresh working environment can boost enthusiasm for work. For companies, they will be able to have new blood with inspiration to their teams. Although employers may need to look for replacements

on a regular basis, this is inevitable. Holding people at positions that they no longer have interest in is far riskier than letting them go.

The change of careers is beneficial to both employees and companies’ development and companies should be more open-minded about this trend. As new staff bring new ideas and energy to the existing teams and contribute more to future development.
