The disappearance of the permanent job and YOU

The new normal in the days to come may be where all employment in the form of a permanent job disappears. A world where EVERYONE is an independent contractor (businessman) who can be terminated at any moment. No benefits. No pension. No security. No seniority. You are 1099d at the end of the year.

You have to live by your wits, ability and skill. Your income is directly reflected in your perceived value to those paying you right now. How will you prosper in that day? I ask because I believe this is the world we are entering and people are going to be shocked when it happens.

I have lived like this nearly my whole life. It's not that bad. You need to prove your value to those who employ you every day. It's as it should be.

If you have a job and you aren't living like this, start now, get used to being valuable.

It's a future you will live in someday.
