Musing: Average Life Span on S&P Index
On average, your big corporate employer won’t be around in ten years.
Plan your career accordingly.
- When the boss says “people are our most important asset” its not about you particluarly.
- Don’t transfer responsibility for your life and career to someone else.
- Don’t trust your employer to to be on your side, they can be but the company comes first, profits second…… and several steps later its you.
