With all the recent changes, it is difficult to feel settled in your job. Especially when you see roles shifting around or disappearing entirely all the time. It makes planning for the future feel almost impossible. I just wish there was more stability for everyone.

Unfortunately in the U.S., job security has less and less to do with marketable skills. The younger generations know this. The advantage they had of immersion in computer related technology due to middle class status (a car in every garage and desktop in every home) is squandered.
