   Note a significant SOCIAL shift in the USA as well.
   By the 80s people stopped being so interested in
   "careers" - they'd jump companies often, even jump
   job types.

   It's even worse now, seriously worse. Means nobody
   becomes "experts" in the usual sense of the word.

   Economic factors with corps also played a role -
   lots of mergers and breakups and outsourcing
   escalated in the 80s so even if you WANTED 50
   years with XYZ Inc the company would disappear
   LONG before that. Only the federal govt still
   offered the needed 'stability'.
