Is there a stop to the hop?

What comes to mind here is the vision of a future so beautifully sketched by Alvin Toffler in his Future Shock.

As he sees it, in the world of the future, the job turnover rates will reach an all-time high.

An average 20-year old will change six to seven jobs in a lifetime.

People will not just have a career but serial careers, so to speak.

The job that each person does will be measured not just in terms of his/ her present job, but the 'trajectory' his/ her career has had.

Shocking? Not really!
