Baby Boomers and the Project-Based Workforce | Workstreamer Blog

This is a short but interesting blog article about another article.

Harvard Business Publishing’s Tammy Erickson writes about the “project-based workforce.”

Personally, I find the concept of “working forever” interesting, because I’ve seen many people retire and then drop dead.

I’m also intrigued by the concept of “cyclical work,” taking part in a work project, then taking some time off, and then working on something else.

I’m resisting the impulse to say “cool.”

Also–there’s a lot to be said for working as long as one can, and it’s not just about money.

I believe that working at something we are passionate about gives us purpose, because we continue being involved in society, keeping work and social relationships active, and using our brains for problem solving.

Both articles are interesting, and I hope you get a chance to read them both.
