Dear Dr. Roberta,
My husband has had three jobs in two years and my parents keep calling him irresponsible. My husband says he knows what he’s doing and he is advancing. I don’t know who is right. What do you think?
Wife, Rhode Island
Dear Wife,
In your parents’ day loyalty was rewarded and staying with the same job for a lifetime was expected. Nowadays, it is not even expected that you will stay with the same industry or career for a lifetime. Moving around is a valid way of getting ahead these days.
