I'm 44 and I've worked 4 places.
10 years in the AirForce
6 years for one company that was bought by another (2 places)
My boss now is a real slave driver but i really like him so I'll stick with this job forever.
I have my own company now

41 and worked 4 (the last being my present ownership of my company)

I'm 46 and worked 2 places.

Started out at 18 (1980) with a large Dutch electronics factory as maintenance guy/machine builder. Worked myself up to be machine designer. Changed to become chief of the quality lab in 1990.

I left the company in 1993 to become a PLC/SCADA trainer with the Flemish governmental services for the unemployed. I feel good here and the pay is OK, so I think I'll stick here for another 14 to 19, and by then I can retire (I hope).

At the beginning of this year I heard they're closing my previous workplace at the end of this year. It seems I left the place well in time.

BTW, I did a year of military duty in between (mar 1981 - feb 1982), but I don't count that as a workplace nor work experience.

Kind regards,

I have had the same job for 40 years, but the company has been sold 3 times, so it seems that I hop companies about every 10 years on average.

Does that count?

Its not easy to leave job but difficult to get good job
