Too often I hear of people (also my friends) in Japan who want to quit their jobs. A few observations on this trend. Since it's such a soft job market right now in Japan, if you had a decent, well-paying job, wouldn't you want to hang onto it? It's certainly not the 80's and early 90's anymore, Japan before the bubble burt, where employees were thought to give life long dedication and employment to their companies. Today, a Japanese person seems to change jobs every few years. So are they quitting their jobs in hopes that something they truly love will come up? Are they quitting because they really hate it? Will they go through their life doing what amounts to odd jobs? Or will they truly find a job where they can put in 10, 20 years of service? This is just something I noticed, but it sure does spawn a whole lot of questions doesn't it?
