It's been at least ten years now since employment professionals have been talking about life-long learning, about how careers wouldn't last a lifetime, how corporations were no longer handing out gold watches, how employees have to take responsibility for their own careers. I say ten years because it seemed to me that that message came concurrent with the Workforce 2000 message, aka diversity. I'm not making this up and it's not a Republican or free-trader or libertarian thing. This comes from the human resources folks, as hugging a group of people as you will ever find. It's not political, it the reality of our times. Even if jobs weren't being outsourced to India, technology would make many jobs obsolete before a gold watch came into view.
