IJMC - Working In the Nineties

Appropriate time to send this one out...I was just talking with a good 
friend last night. She's looking for a new job and has been told that 
holding 6 to 7 jobs a year is no longer considered odd...what is the job 
market coming to? I'm not a big fan of looking for a new job every year 
or two...now you're telling me 6 times a year? No thanks.          -dave
