Though technically this is a blog about startups, I want to take a bit of a divergence this week and talk to an audience that is soon to join the professional world after this month: the graduating senior. 尽管这个博客实质上是关于创业的，但这个星期，我准备偏离下轨道。我想要和毕业季即将踏上职业岗位的读者谈谈毕业生的话题。 Careers launched in 2017 will hardly follow the straight-arrow path of ones from the previous generation. The expected job tenure of the average college graduate today is less than three years, which translates to about 15-20 different jobs over a lifetime compared to about seven for my generation. This means that the skills, knowledge and degree that one attains in college will hardly be enough to prepare graduates for a lifetime of career hopping. 2017年开始，职业生涯已经不再会按照上一代那样直线发展了。现在预期的大学毕业生工作后平均任期不到三年，也就是说，和我那个年代一生只做过7份工作相比，现在大家一生会做大概15到20份工作。这意味着大学获得的技能、知识和学位对于一生的职业跳槽，已经不够用啦。 To this, I have one proposed solution: to thrive in your future career, best to adopt the mindset of a startup, where change and constant evolution are the norm. Or, to paraphrase Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn, live life as if you are in permanent Beta. |
