Is Anyone Really Focused on One Job?

Posted on September 2nd, 2009 by tim bursch. Filed under business, jobs.

It could be that I’m so in the thick of it that I just can’t see straight. But is anyone working just one job anymore? I am working on a handful of projects that I care about. One friend runs a company and teaches online. Another works for a non-profit and does real estate.

So I ask again, does anyone work a regular 9-5 job anymore? Please tell me if you do. What I want to ask next - is it really what you want to be doing?

I think the hope for a secure job with one company that takes care of you is dead and gone. Business changes too quickly.

I read Tom Peter’s book, Reimagine, a few years ago and thought he was a little overboard. Nope. I guess he was on to something. Seems like it is more about a Brand Called You.

Tell me about your work.
