A surprising number of people today seem to think that they were the first to say "There is no such thing as a career path, it's crazy paving and you have to lay it yourself" I know two things for certain. It wasn't me that said it first and I first heard it more than 20 years ago. Whoever said it first was remarkably prescient. Portfolio careers, with a number of major changes to direction throughout a long working life and having more than one skill set at all times so that flip-flopping from one activity to another on a daily basis has become common place. But is this appraoch to work and work patterns going to be accepted in the local government arena?
