I want a better job!

In response to, I want a better job!: you are not alone. These days, most people go through several career changes ? often in very different fields -- before they settle on a job that lasts until retirement. Remember that life is a journey, not a destination. I think Americans, with their competitive nature, feel especially rushed to develop their lives before a certain age. Even people who major in hot new fields, such as international marketing and computer science, eventually find themselves insecure because future entry-level employees have more current training than they do. Take your time and enjoy the road to self-discovery!
