The 21st century career plan is not a straight line - it is a non linear web of meaningful work that one pursues throughout a lifetime.
The 21st century career plan no longer focuses on a single job for life, but rather finding meaningful work that will keep us fulfilled and excited in our careers for the duration of our working lives. The working life is also becoming longer, with people working past the typical age of retirement.
One thing we know for certain is that the world will continue to change significantly. Factors such as globalization, changing demographics, shifts in the world economy and advances in technology will continue to drive many career shifts. Being ready to embrace change will enable us to succeed.
