I thought to myself, “Well, I’m going to work here forever and I’ll just figure it out later and retire at 65, maybe before that!”

Shows that he was 22 at the time and yes naive. As was I, as were many people.

My in-laws are in their 80s. My Father-in-law retired very comfortably with a nice pension and stock portfolio. And he is just as "naiive and out of touch". He has always criticized me for changing jobs every 5 years. At each job I have had, since the 1990s, I have excelled. Great reviews. Many awards. I am a star performer. But no real raises, no promotions. There's no budget, no place to move up. Also, no pension. So I change jobs every 5 years. I usually snag a 10% raise or so when I change. My current income is much higher than I think I deserve. But if I had been naive and trusting and stayed with one company I'd be making far less than I am. As I say, my Father-in-Law thinks I'm a bit of a fool. That guy is 83 and he still hasn't figured out that the world has changed. I caught on 30 years ago.
