well said :-) but

 

- what's good company?  Were lehman brothers, Dell, HP, Notel, GM, Ford good enough?  good doesn't mean good forever.  that's why people get laid off.

- though skill is more important than money for newbies, should people w/ 10+ yr work experience look for decent promotion or raise?  I know people can get better raise by changing job, not staying.  

what's my point here.  let me put it in mother's tongue.

年轻人，有精力，能折腾，一年里换上2、3个合同工，或同时做几分工，吃得消。 到了40、50岁，就不是“人挪活”啦，上有老，下有小，找个稳定的工作，福利好点， 逐步过渡到退休。 换言之，合同工一般较全职工辛苦，携家带口者不宜？   

俺这个思路，对头否？ 请砸砖。
