"Security can no longer be defined by a single employer or, for that matter, by a single job or occupation. Instead, we have little choice but to re-examine the whole notion of personal security as an aspect of employment. Simply put, 'employment'  no longer necessarily implies 'a job.'  In the volatile new workplace, your security depends on you."

"The 1990s changed our lives more than any decade before. In the early 1990s, many people suffered severe job dislocation. But most Canadians have found the late 1990s a time of liberation, of greater freedom, and prosperous career opportunities. Even young people will be in control of their career destiny as we enter the 21st century."

Frank Feather, Canada's Best Career Guide 2000

"When individuals face the challenge of making a career decision, they often feel panicked and pressured into making a quick decision. Deciding on a career direction is an important life step, and sufficient time and energy should be devoted to the process."
