3. The evolution of work…
 The 4.0 Career Is Coming: Are You
Ready To Upgrade?
 The 1.0 career describes doing whatever kind of
work enables you to survive.
 Version 2.0 emerged with the political and
economic environments that supported the
emergence of the modern "career." That is, work
within increasingly large, bureaucratic
organizations that developed from about the late
1800s into the early 20th century.

4. The evolution of work…
 The 3.0 careerist struggles for more balance
between work and personal life, and is less willing
than the 2.0 careerist to stick with an unfulfilling
job, or settle for one when job-hunting.
 In contrast, the 4.0 careerist is more focused on
having impact on something larger than oneself.
The 4.0 careerist is motivated by a sense of service
to and connection with the larger human
community through the product or service he or she
contributes to. It involves continuous new learning
and creative growth, through which you use your
talents and capacities for having a positive impact
on human lives, through your work.

22. “The vulgar bosses forced me to
learn respect. The selfish bosses
helped me understand compassion.
The generous bosses allowed me to
spread my wings. The patient
bosses kept me on the straight and
narrow. The ghastly bosses gave me
ample reasons to focus on my
career and escape their grip.”
- Jonar C Nadar, “How to Lose Friends and Infuriate
Your Boss”

“We cannot live in the afternoon of life according to the
program of life’s morning. For what was great in the
morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning
was true, will at evening have become a lie.”
- Carl Jung (1875 – 1961)
