JOB SECURITY: TRUE OR FALSE

As I sit her steady doing my job on and off and watching as people all around me are let go; I can't help but wonder: Am I next? This leads me to wonder if job security in this day and age is just a myth. I know that there was once a time that people found a job, not even a career, and they stayed there until the retired or died. Yet now people switch jobs easier and sometimes fast then they switch homes or apartments. And it's not like businesses promote longevity within the workplace. They let people go faster than J.Lo use to get divorced, but the question is why? What happened? Is it just the timeframe that we live in or like everything else going on right now can we lay the blame right at Bush's footsteps? However, there are a few people who have not only found something that they love to do, but have made careers out of jobs that were just supposed to be temporary. Yet are they happy? I myself have switched jobs more than I've switched states and it seems like everyone has more drawbacks then not, but they pay the bills more or less and their generally easy so I stay. But I am always looking just in case. I always tell myself that it is because I'm looking for the great opportunity or the perfect place for me, but the truth is that I am just not sure most times from day to day if I will have someplace to go tomorrow. What does that say about me or about the places that I attract? Because if it were a relationship everyone would be telling me that it was something that I was doing. So what is to be done? I opt for starting my own business and growing it until relying on others with be just a think of the past. But there are others that don't have that option. What do they do? Settle for jumping from job to job; career to career? Maybe they do, but is it far to them?
