Because there is no clear definition, accurate counting of career changers is difficult, if not impossible. However, the US Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics does collect data on job change: the switch from one employer to another or a switch from one occupation to another while working for the same employer. The average number of job changes is about 10 jobs for workers between ages 18 and 38, according to current data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979.

Kieth Kulow began working for Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division in 1980 as an energy technician. MLGW serves more than 429,000 households, businesses and organizations in Shelby County. "What many people don't know, however, is that MLGW is the nation's largest three-service municipal (publicly owned) utility, established in 1939," says Kulow.
MLGW has offered a wide variety of programs and services during my 30-year career, including Energy Saver Homes (in the 1980s); Comfort Plus Homes (in the 1990s) and EcoBUILD, the residential green building program I manage today.
