Between the ages of 20 and 30, most people have more than 8 jobs. This is a positive thing for a number of reasons. First of all, Daniel Gilbert, psychologist at Harvard, says that we really don't know what we'll like until
we try it. So having a lot of jobs when you start your adult life is a good way to figure out what to do with your adult life. But, job hopping is a good thing for everyone to do—not just
twenty-somethings—because it's a way to maintain passion in your work.
Frequent changes keep your learning curve high and your challenges fresh.
