Job Stability: Is it Still Possible?

In the post, How to get a career that provides stability, written on the blog of Penelope Trunk, a successful business woman who has four start-ups under her belt, it describes the underlying wish for all generations, which is stability.

Stability, whether it is emotional, relational, or career wise is important to every person. In the article she provides three ways of achieving some sort of stability. The first of which, is being able to improvise. I believe this is a key skill because in our day, many of our jobs are slowly becoming automated, and as that happens, we need to be ready to take on any job that may be left for us. The second idea is to become comfortable with your gut which means to begin to be able to handle ambiguity, (a job that robots can’t take). This is plausible, as it takes human reasoning to be able to deal with these sort of situations. The last point mentioned is to be creative. I believe this is the most important of the three, as creativity can always lead to innovation. Using improvisation, instinct, and creativity, we can create stability in our lives by accepting the things we cannot change.
