Many of the statistics are quite surprising, like the following:
"One factor that may be contributing to Millennials staying with employers longer is their relatively high levels of education, which is typically associated with longer tenure. Among 25- to 35-year-old workers in 2016, 38% of Millennial men and 46% of Millennial women had completed at least a bachelor’s degree. The Gen X workforce back in 2000 had significantly lower levels of educational attainment: 31% of male 25- to 35-year-old workers had finished college, as had only 34% of female workers."

Well, it looks like ShawD is going to leave her first job after one year. She has given notice. It was a perfect job. She loved it and they loved her. She built up a panel of 500 patients much faster than they expected. But, she has a boyfriend in the city and she is one and 3/4 hours drive out. She drives in every Thursday night and leaves usually Monday AM (except on weekends when she has to do urgent care on Saturdays. He doesn't have a car and has expressed a desire to move to Seattle, San Francisco or Boulder with her in a year. [He's a techie with a cutting edge position so those cities make sense]. She wants to see if the relationship works well when they are in the city before moving to a strange city with him. The new job will not be as good, though the pay is pretty high. Hopefully, this is a good move.

Part of transitioning from a "young adult" to a "more mature adult" involves weighing life choices and making decisions accordingly. It seems as if both your daughter, and my son, are placing a higher priority on their personal relationships than their own careers at the moment. (Although in my son's case, it involves staying with a company that he doesn't really like, because it's the only large tech company in that town, and his girlfriend doesn't want to move from her current job and nearby family. Perhaps she'd consider it if "he put a ring on her finger," but they're not at that point yet.)
In any case, I wish your daughter only the best in both her personal and professional life!

Its amazing how personal relationships can derail education and careers. I am hoping none of my kids get too deeply involved with anyone during their schooling. I have seen it happen in my family and it sucks.
