The statement “My father had one job in his lifetime, I will have six jobs in my lifetime, and my children will have six jobs at the same time.” makes a pithy statement but is generally not true. My father had about 6 jobs in his working life. Looking at my uncles they varied in the number of jobs but none of them had just one, over a working life of more than 40 years each. Thinking wider still, I cannot think of a single person in my parents generation that had just one job. It might be that people average more jobs today than they did in the past. Maybe you can project that forward and guess that a future generation will average more. But to say 6 concurrently is wild speculation and hard for me to take seriously. There is no reason to think our children will have many concurrent jobs. Certainly no more than people do today.
