  4. Exactly, *marriage* is the problem for any 'n' by echtertyp · · Score: 1 · on Chemical Pollution Is Destroying Masculinity

    Whether n = 1, 2, or 20, *marriage* to n females is misery in most cases. The solution is pretty obvious: do away with marriage. This is happening in Scandinavia and coincidentally, worldwide, people are happiest in Scandinavia. Happier then our God-fearin' marriage addicted U.S. of A. Marriage is a dull institution that flattens womens' potential as human beings, and for men, well, aside from the obvious "it sucks" I can't say it any better than this well researched and insightful piece... based on 2000 in depth interviews: http://www.martynemko.com/articles/men-as-beasts-burden_id1228

  6. I don't own the site. Here's another: by echtertyp · · Score: 1 · on Any Suggestions For a Meaningful Geeky Wedding Band?

    www.nomarriage.com is another good one as a primer. I can't speak to the web design of either site. But the information on both is pretty good, and very, very relevant for young men today. There's one other, just an article, that's also quite good with a different spin but similar conclusions: http://www.martynemko.com/articles/gold-diggers-are-alive-and-well-in-2006_id1222 Get thee educated on these realities, my friend.

  9. Re:The Myth of the Software Engineer/CS Glut by Shajenko42 · · Score: 1 · on How Much Money do Programmers Really Make?
    In all frankness, the '90s are never coming back.
    I know that. That's why I have no hope left.

    For the rest of your advice, it requires a lot of things I don't have - several years of time with a back-up source of income that will at least let me survive, some pretty good ideas about design, etc. Hell, Step 1 on your list requires me to already know how they do programming in a company - how could I possibly know this? I've never done professional coding before.

    I've been out of college for four years. That alone is a guarantee that no company will take another look at my resume.
    Your college should have job counseling services, they can be very helpful.
    My college's job placement department was less than worthless. All the companies that tried to work with it hated it, and the only thing they were ever interested in when I went there was reworking my resume over and over, often in contradictory ways.
    4) Don't be put off by "local candidates only" - that's code for "we won't fly you in for the interview and we won't pay relocation either." Just get there, make it clear you'll relocate yourself if they like you.
    I don't have the money to fly out for even a single out of town interview, let alone multiple ones.
    5) Go to job fairs at nearby cities.
    Job fairs have also been pointless for me. They always have huge lines just to get in the building, and if you do manage to get in they have just sent an intern with no say in hiring or selection to simply collect resumes.
    Above all, follow what you most enjoy, what you'd do in your spare time anyway. The money will follow.
    I've heard differently.
