Is the Career Becoming more like a Business?

From Linked In:

Seems to me the obvious answer is yes.

If you look at human history, for all except the last few hundred years, and the last century primarily, most people were responsible for their own income, welfare, health maintenance etc.

It is only recently 'we' (most) started looking at corporations, government, etc for taking care of all of our needs. For a few decades in the US after WWII, people were able to look at lifetime careers in corporations, but personally I think that was the anomaly period. We need to devote more attention in our education system to preparing people to manage their lives and have the ability to create and produce, rather than just check off a bunch of coursework in college, and come out waiting for someone to hand them the rest of their life.
