The article discusses the job-hopping tendency of Gen Z, who believe it ensures better pay and promotions. ACT CEO Janet Godwin warns that this approach may backfire, advocating for longer tenures in jobs for sustained success. With a career spanning over 35 years at ACT, Godwin shares her belief in focusing on present opportunities rather than constantly seeking the next step. Her journey exemplifies the advantages of commitment in one's career path, contrasting sharply with the rapid turnover prevalent in younger generations.
"I came in thinking I'd be here for a couple of years, and here I am, 35 years later," she tells Fortune. And while proponents of job hopping might view Godwin's path as complacent, she sees it as resourceful.
"For many high school students, the memory of taking the ACT or SAT might feel like a fever dream: Waking up at the crack of dawn on a Saturday morning...in reality, the test has opened doors for millions of students to pursue their dream schools and careers."
