@StacJip - That is a good post. I have been thinking the same thing when I hear about financial stability. I have the same observations as you do. I think there are careers or jobs that end up having been stable in their time. I am an engineer, and I can tell you that the money flow turns on and off, and a cancelled order here or there and you need to look for work. There actually are several engineers I know who have had a very steady and even career, but not the majority. I always hustle for work and keep an eye on the engineering job market through my network. I read an article about “I am now 50 years old and lugging my amp to the next gig - how long do I want to keep doing this?”, and I think - wow, that could get old I guess. But then I think about what many of the rest of us are doing for a living, and a lot of people I know who have been doing their job for 25 years also feel tired of their jobs.
