Changing jobs and residences frequently is a very common scenario nowadays. Do you believe that this is good for one's future?"

Switching employment and shifting place of living frequently is a new normal today. Whatever the source of this new found love may be, this new human propensity can influence lives both adversely, as well as positively. 

Changing employment, in a way, is surely a path that often leads to faster career progression. Although hopping jobs is prone to hardships, it opens up doors to broader opportunities, sometimes in a multitude of ways that one might have never imagined, bringing in rich returns.   Those  taking risks are bound to gain multifariously, in terms of monetary and non-monetary benefits, higher positions in the hierarchy, a once in a blue moon opportunity to learn something new that might help in approaching and obtaining alternative skills within a given occupation.

Similarly, when one shifts place of dwelling whether within the same or other city, or even country, they are exposed to new surroundings with diverse environments, in terms of neighborhood, attitudes of people, weather and even facilities. This lays an opportunity at the disposal of people to experience the difference and  develop a broader world view, turning them more receptive, liberal  and eventually rational.

However, there are certain failings of this inclination. Many are left feeling alienated, since many cannot rapidly acclimatize to the new working environment and  ethics, by virtue of not being accepted readily older workers, making one to  start from the scratch again. Similarly, when one changes a dwelling unit, they often find it hard to the adapt to surroundings and living conditions that can affect physical and mental wellbeing. 

In hindsight, whatever the reasons those living solitary may offer, I strongly feel that independent life is not as pleasurable as it may seem. It should be a short phase rather than a permanent arrangement.
