The lie about unemployment

[said]

Whilst it is true, the world has simply changed. I've several friends, noyw coming towards retirement who are working for the same company that they joined after uni. Back then, you took your pick as a graduate, and were made for life. They groomed you for a career and if you worked hard, you got one.

There is now a lot more change in the business environment, and in some ways it is good, but it does mean that the old certainties of a career are no longer there. Joining the gig economy, is just the extreme version of a portfolio career. For workers with in demand skills, it can be very lucrative. I'm leaving my current employer at the end of next month in order to reduce my daily commute from 4 hours of cycling and trains per day to a 10 minute walk. My current employer has already asked if I could do the occasional foreigner for them - £450 a day, they charge me out at £600. I'll quote ten days for something that will only take me five :-)

Some prime job you got there if it took that amount of commuting! Why not just move to be nearer the job - you could have saved so much more money.
