There is no job for life anymore. Years ago, you studied, you went to college, you were a good boy/girl, you got a job, you worked in that job, you received raises/promotions, you retired with a pension, and you died.

No more.

It's WAY different out there not only for millennials, but for all workers.

The World Economic Forum has a new report out listing some of the areas of the world, industry and techniques to help workers succeed in today's marketplace. Here are some highlights:

The job for life model is dead.
There is a need to retool yourself and you should not expect to stop.
We need a generation of workers who are hungry to learn and eager to keep pace with the times.
Organizations across industries will look for curious, flexible, data-driven minds.
Offer solid development opportunities which will instill the loyalty we’ve seen erode over the last few decades.
Millennials will work hard if you develop the skills they need to advance and improve their long-term career prospects.

Bottom line — individuals, companies and even nations will see their skillsets become outdated. Technological change is a top global challenge — it is going to require extraordinary effort to keep pace. You need to integrate continuous learning into your workday — millennial, gen-x, gen-y, or even a boomer.

Take a class, learn online, play with KhanAcademy.com, read a book, listen to podcasts, audit lectures — DO SOMETHING.

I am encouraged by the attitude of younger workers who have set their sights on a regular and relentless pursuit of learning.
