It’s that time of year when schools are back and graduates are looking for a job while their elders are mentoring and supporting — trying not to worry too much. In a fast-changing world, what advice can we give to those setting out? Here is a way of thinking about it. It seems to me that every generation of workers has a possible gift — and a potential curse. I can see that in my dad’s generation.

Perhaps we should be planning to work into our seventies, or to constantly augment our skills with the newest technologies (such as Chat GPT). Is the very notion of a career path becoming outdated?
