 How long could you stand working your current job? A 100-year-old man has just set the world record for longest career at the same company. 84 years. Walter Orthman took a job at a Brazilian textile company in 1938, at the age of 15. And he's been there ever since. Walter believes the best part about having a job is the sense of purpose, commitment, and routine. And he advises people to work for a good company in a field that motivates them. For Walter, that has been one job for his entire life. For most of us, we change jobs and even industries fairly often. And I think that will continue as our life spans increase. We may continue to reinvent ourselves many times over. So Walter's achievements could be quite rare for many years to come.
