若者の転職 Young people changing jobs

NHKで先日、1月25日に報じられていた内容です。

若者は海外留学などの外向き積極性が低下していると言われていますが、自分のスキルアップという意味での新しい仕事への挑戦姿勢は向上しているようです。

時代とともに人々の考え方と仕事環境は確実に変化しています。

転職はリスクが伴うので、最低数年の準備をした方が良いと考えるのは私のような年配者の杞憂かもしれません。

私も29歳で転職した（独立開業した）一人ですが、5年以上の準備を重ねました。

その古い経験から、独立や転職相談を受けた時には準備状況やその理由を尋ねて、思いとどまるように告げる事の方が多かったです。

This was reported on NHK the other day on January 25.

It is said that young people are becoming less outward-looking and proactive, such as in studying abroad, but their attitude toward challenging new jobs in terms of improving their skills seems to be improving.

Our thinking way and work environments are certainly changing with the times.

It may be an unfounded fear of an older person like me to think that changing jobs is risky and that it is better to prepare for at least a few years.

I am one of those who changed careers (and started my own business) at the age of 29, but I spent more than 5 years of preparation.

Thanks to that old experience, when I was asked for advice on starting their own business or changing careers, I was more likely to ask about their preparation status and the reasons for it, often telling them to stay as they had been.
