abstract = {In this paper we study the labour market behavior of employed individuals that have entrepreneurial aspirations in addition to aspirations to switch job, using the Finnish Quality of Work Life Survey from the year 1997. We analyze empirically these two search processes and, inspired by Lazear's (2002) recent jack-of-all-trades hypothesis, focus specifically on the effects of varied experience on them. We report three main findings. First, entrepreneurial aspirations on-the-job are not uncommon. Second, employed people with varied experience are more likely to have entrepreneurial aspirations than others. This finding supports the jack-of-all-trades hypothesis of entrepreneurship. Finally, we propose that the hypothesis is not unique to entrepreneurship, as labour market opportunities available to people with varied experience are likely to be richer than to others. The data support this idea, as the jacks-of-all-trades search on-thejob for a new job more frequently than others. We also briefly consider the policy implications of our findings. \textendash{} entrepreneurship ; job search ; experience --  -- Tarkastelemme t\"{a}ss\"{a} tutkimuksessa ty\"{o}ss\"{a}k\"{a}yvien halukkuutta etsi\"{a} uutta ty\"{o}paikkaa tai ryhty\"{a} yritt\"{a}j\"{a}ksi k\"{a}ytt\"{a}en Ty\"{o}olotiedustelun aineistoa vuodelta 1997. Tutkimme n\"{a}it\"{a} kahta \textquotedblleft{}etsint\"{a}prosessia\textquotedblright{} empiirisesti ja keskitymme Lazearin (2002) \textquotedblleft{}jack-of-all-trades\textquotedblright{} -hypoteesin (eli \textquotedblright{}joka-alan-asiantuntija\textquotedblright{} -hypoteesin) innoittamana erityisesti siihen, kuinka monipuolinen kokemus vaikuttaa etsint\"{a}\"{a}n. Raportoimme kolme p\"{a}\"{a}tulosta. (i) Ty\"{o}ss\"{a}k\"{a}yvien halukkuus ryhty\"{a} yritt\"{a}j\"{a}ksi ei ole harvinaista. (ii) Monipuolinen kokemus lis\"{a}\"{a} yritt\"{a}jyyshalukkuutta, kuten \textquotedblleft{}jack-of-all-trades\textquotedblright{} hypoteesi ennustaa. (iii) V\"{a}it\"{a}mme, ett\"{a} monipuolinen kokemus lis\"{a}\"{a} my\"{o}s uuden ty\"{o}paikan etsint\"{a}\"{a}, koska se parantaa ty\"{o}markkina- asemaa. Empiiriset tuloksemme tukevat my\"{o}s t\"{a}t\"{a} n\"{a}kemyst\"{a}, sill\"{a} ne ty\"{o}ss\"{a}k\"{a}yv\"{a}t, joilla on monipuolista kokemusta, etsiv\"{a}t usein uutta ty\"{o}paikkaa.
