    It depends how you want to count them. Does self-employed (artist), self-employed (IT consulant) & self-employed (tree surgeon) count ad one or three? Especially since all of those overlapped to some extent. And do promotions count?

    However, looking at long-term, full-time roles only, then about 5 - most of which involved at least one internal promotion. Probably closer to 15 if you include all the odds and ends. I’m in my 50s and will probably be staying put now until I retire.

    My brothers - quite a bit older than me - had one job (including promotions) in one case and two in the other.

        It is about dealing with damaged or diseased trees mostly, or just reducing the tops to make them safe and so on.

        I spent my time climbing trees then hanging from them on ropes while playing with chainsaws. Very enjoyable and satisfying work, but extremely physical.
