I have been with my current employer for 22 years; I've had several different positions but all in the same division. I agree, people move from job to job more often now. They have to because in this day and age; the only way to make significantly more money money is to move to a different employer. Also people today manage their careers in a way that we didn't in the past. Sometimes people have no choice, if they want to get to the next level, they have leave.

I look at it as having a career, not just a job.

The longest I ever stayed was seven years - average about four or five.

The last time I went to a new firm, I increased my salary about 25%.

I enjoyed changing companies and firms. It was always my choice to move on.

I'm retired now. (I point that out because I'm not young - I'll be 70 this year. So it's not only "millenials" or other young people who like changing jobs.)

I retired after 45 years last year. Only job I ever held. Very fortunate to have retired with a pension. From what I understand most large Companies don’t seem to offer that anymore.

This year marks my 25th year with the same district. In six years, I can retire--not that I'm counting.

It has been 36 years this month. Been with the same company since I graduated from college. And will be with them until I retire. I think this is becoming less and less common.

I worked almost 27 years with the WV DHHR office. I had to retire early due to health problems. I had a serious fall that resulted in 2 compression fractures the week before my 54th birthday. With my tenure, I could retire at 55, which is what I had to did. With the trauma of the fall, I started developing Fibromylgia and an array of auto-immune diseases. That's been 10 years ago. Although I have health issues, I love being retired.

I knit or crochet all my Christmas presents. I make preemie sweaters and angel gowns for some of the NICU's in my state. I also make hats for infants for International Missions Outreach. It's a missionary organization in Haiti. They build and maintain churches, schools and feeding centers throughout the country. They also have a health clinic.
