Audio: The Demise of Guys in a Tough Economy - Games and Pornography

This is episode is very helpful in many ways. Despite the title focusing on Games and Pornography, the show focuses on a lot more than that. This is the "Demise of Guys" website.

Check out the radio show below.

Description from the web:

Pornography is way more accessible today than it was 100 years ago. There were hardly any sports, let alone computer games, in the average boy’s life 100 years ago. Now computer games are everywhere.

The character of guys is failing, but the economy is only getting tougher. So what gives? Kevin Swanson discusses with Joshua Christiansen (from Proverbs66.com) regarding the critical importance of faith and character in the lives of our young men (and young women).

College Students Taking Jobs That Require No Degree

After four years of college, many graduates are ending up in jobs that only require the ability to operate a cash register with a smile.

After commencement, a growing number young people say they have no choice but to take low-skilled jobs, according to a survey released this week. And while 63% of “Generation Y” workers — those age 18 to 29 — have a bachelor’s degree, the majority of the jobs taken by graduates don’t require one, according to an online survey of 500,000 young workers carried out between July 2011 and July 2012 by PayScale.com, a company that collects data on salaries.

Advice for the 30-and-Under-Club

Simon Black, a man whom I have never heard of until I saw his recent post on LewRockwell.com, gives some interesting, and agreeable advice for the 30-and-under-club.

One:

Go explore the world and get an education based on experience, not expensive academic theory.

Two:

Find people whose lifestyles you want to emulate and make yourself indispensable to them as an apprentice… this will be the only time in your life that you can afford to work for nothing in exchange for a valuable, first-hand education.

Third:

Most of all, stop playing by everyone else’s rules. Refuse to be enslaved by the idea that it’s your civic and moral responsibility to pay off the debts of your government’s failures.

The second one I absolutely agree with. In fact, I have drafted a few cover letters to journalists who I hope will allow me to apprentice under them for free. Not only will this benefit me short-term (via the added skill) but it will also benefit me long-term (I can now ask for a hefty letter of recommendation from an established person in the field).

Think about the possibilities in your area of interest.
