I was watching a programme on the BBC yesterday called Working Girls which basically has two girls each week who don't work and have in some cases never worked by the age of 20-23yrs of age. I was discussing with my boyfriend the number of jobs we have both had (I'm 22 and he is 21) and it turns out I have had 14 or 15 jobs and he has had 4. We've both been in full time education up until July last year and are both planning on returning to university next year. Whilst he's only had 4 jobs ever I'm on my 4th job since July due to doing temporary jobs and moving around quite a bit.

How many jobs have you had in your lifetime (different employers or different job roles, define it as you wish) and do you think it is better in this economic climate to be a "jack of all trades" and move around roles like me or to be in a more long term position with a company?

I've not been unemployed for more than 2 weeks at a time and I haven't been in receipt of any benefits like JSA as I feel it is anti-productive to finding work unless you ca motivate people to use it literally to find work. I personally wouldn't use it correctly so I just don't bother using tax payers money that way, even though I have paid my taxes and national insurance. I just feel that I'll probably need it in more valuable ways in the future so I'd rather not be wasteful now.

Anyway, I'm just curious what the attitude is towards work in general. You're my favourite people to ask this sort of thing so I thought I'd make a rare appearance!
