Blog Post: Slash Careers

How many careers are you currently marketing and managing?  I see more and more people taking control of their life and taking multiple streams of income to heart.  I have many examples, here are a few: there is the college student career/entrepreneur/author like Ben Casnocha (his public speaking is taking off so look for /speaker to come).  Mark Ewing who is a recruiter/photographer/ski instructor.  Making money and excellent at each.  I can't count how many people have a website that is generating more than just content...revenues!  These are examples of young professionals in their 20's, but I am seeing just as many baby boomers doing the same thing.  Employee/consultant/speaker/writer/advisor all at the same time, all generating revenue and opportunity.  As a GenXer myself, I am not seeing as many examples in my generation as I am with boomers and Gen Y, yet.  Exception to the entrepreneur crowd like me.  I know why more slash careers exist in Boomers and Gen Y, but that is another post.   

Not long ago I posted on Personal Board of Advisors from Your Brand, LLC a poll question asking how many times do you plan to change jobs in your career?  Every few years is the answer taking a lead right now.  I just posted a similar yet very different question - How Many Careers Do You Currently Manage?

I am curious about how many careers you brand and manage - take the poll and tell your story.
