33 Times People Received Out-of-Touch Advice From Boomers

How people view careers is another thing that’s changed massively. My great-grandpa worked at the steel mill for 45 years, and when he retired, they gave him a respectable pension. That’s a decent retirement plan, if you can get it. So you can see why Boomers might think everyone should follow this path.

But these days, it’s much more common to change jobs frequently, and with pensions mostly going away and people managing their own retirement accounts, there’s no need to stick with the same company for so many years. I don’t think this is a bad piece of advice if it works out for you, but it’s definitely not as common as it used to be.
