Dear BlueCarGirl,
I'm making a guess here because I don't know 100% what the lawyer meant. I think that lots of people with bipolar move around, but other folks move too:
According to gov stats one age segment of the baby boomers held an average of 11 jobs from ages 18 to 44. I'd like to know how many different careers they entered. (Maybe that is too hard to determine -- to figure out what counts as a separate career.)

A BLS news release published in September 2010 examined the number of jobs that people born in the years 1957 to 1964 held from age 18 to age 44. The title of the report is "Number of Jobs Held, Labor Market Activity, and Earnings Growth among the Youngest Baby Boomers: Results from a Longitudinal Survey." The report is available on the BLS web site at: www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/nlsoy.pdf.
These younger baby boomers held an average of 11 jobs from ages 18 to 44. (In this report, a job is defined as an uninterrupted period of work with a particular employer.) On average, men held 11.4 jobs and women held 10.7 jobs.

Yes. Very likely. Many of us who are diagnosed bipolar have lots of depressives and alcoholics in our families -- at least I do.
