>Ignoring it costs more later, but later is someone else's problem

Given the standard advice to job hop every 1-3 years, and the intern/coop work pattern of semester long stints, is this not just a structural consequence?

Do you gain competitive advantage as a company with longer tenures? Or shorter, even?

Or is it an attitude problem, compare with old people planting shade trees:
