People Careers Are In Danger, Yet, They Are Still Unaware Of The Danger!

In view of the globalization, people careers are in danger and sad to say that they still do now know it. Nobody is aware of this new inevitable trend that will negatively impact their career and their ability to protect and secure their financial future.

The world has changed. Everything has changed. Economy has changed to highly competitive environment globally. Technology has changed from time to time to improve and increase efficiency. Society has changed to much more fragmented and self centered. The workplace has changed in term of more information is required to process rapidly that an average worker might not be able to handle. This has resulted a much more demanding and pressurizing working environment.

Hence, calling all the rat racers! Time to take action and plan running out of rat race before your jobs are impacted. Even though you win the race, you are still a rat running around the highly competitive flat world.

In addition, with easy access to Internet and telephone connections has become a level playing field. This has added intense pressure to people at high cost locations whereby a job can now be done anywhere in the world, just as long as the person is qualified and connected.

Thomas Friedman tells us that 'There are 245,000 Indians answering phones from all over the world or dialing out to solicit people for credit cards or cellphone bargains or overdue bills.' These would constitute low-wage and low-prestige jobs in America, 'but when shifted to India they become high-way, high-prestige jobs'.

The world we live in is completely different from what it was 20 years ago. Changes are now taking place at a faster rate than ever before. Distances have shrunk, accessibility has increased, new territories have been discovered and jobs have been broken down into processes and anything that can be digitally transferred and worked on by the person who is the most efficient, fastest and cheapest without the constraint of boundary.

So, what is going on and threatening the security of our jobs?

What are the forces forcing us to leave the rat race?
