ICT workers, did you have to switch jobs a lot for a career?

So I was studying in STEM, left it because I'm not cut out for it, and in the process I attended a few compulsory events with businesses looking to recruit. They all talked about being a work nomad, never settling for one post but instead choosing to reinvent yourself in order to remain competitive in the job market.

Thus I questioned whether I could do that and decided that I couldn't, that there was another way (choking in the dropoutpill). But today this question sprung up in my mind. Therefore I ask you ICT workers in this forum whether your work lives are this dynamic and successful. Just out of both morbid curiosity and masochism I guess.
