Career changes in a lifetime

[dfrecore]

I'm skeptical of this article's statement based on other things I've read:

Considering that research has found that the average worker will change careers – not jobs but careers – five to seven times in their lifetime, career planning is an activity you should do at least once a year.

From https://www.livecareer.com/career/advice...nning-tips

But many people decided to switch careers around 2006-2009, and it seems like some of them are switching again. I think that tech and the need for healthcare services will cause more and more to switch.

I think schools will see more demand for allowing a third bachelor's, especially in tech fields.

I think people on here are probably worse than the average person in terms of thinking that a change in careers (or a new career whether you're changing or not) means that a degree is needed to do so.  I don't think this is the case at all.  You probably aren't going to need a 3rd bachelor's degree to change most careers - you just need to find the right place to give you a chance, and many times this happens.  It's easier for a company to see a person that's been successful at a previous job/career, and decide that they have the skills (even if not the degree) to be successful at their company.

I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.  Almost no one needs a 3rd (or even 2nd) bachelor's degree for a career change.
