Creating an action plan to improve work-life balance
Jumping from job and field to another, while learning new skills, is a pattern that defines careers.
Recent surveys suggest that financial commitments, like homeownership or family, are a tougher proposition when you can't expect to stay in a job for long or to earn more in real terms than you do at 40.
