Group Work Think and share.
1.Why does the writer think the “new boss” is “you”
The author stated clearly at the end: If you want to succeed in the 21st century career, you will have to develop new essential skills. Lifetime security from one employer is no longer certain
or even likely. The truth is that you are the boss of your career, and it is up to you to decide what you can do and how well you
can do it. This means that you are responsible for your future.
3. In paragraphs 2–4, the writer discusses some of the wrong assumptions. Why does the writer do this
The writer uses this way to emphasise what is wrong and invite readers to pay more attention on what he or she says about the real trend about the future. The writer discusses some of the wrong assumptions in order to make the readers reflect and realise that what common people think at present will no longer be true in the future and that they have no other choices but to walk out of their comfort zone and be their boss.

You might be lucky. These strategies might bring you a nice, comfortable life …
But most of us today have to look beyond the little box called “career”.
If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career, think again.
If you think you can’t be replaced by software or your job can’t be outsourced to some robots on the moon, you are wrong.
