My Sexploitation Foray: Bare Naked Breasts Galore!
It's widely assumed that sex sells. Let's test that received wisdom.
Let's stipulate that there's nothing prurient about clicking on links that display the bare breasts of celebrities. It's practically necessary to view the celebrity breasts, just so you're informed enough not to feel left out of water cooler chatter on the topic.
OK, so these are 60-year old male breasts, but they are bare and naked, so you got precisely what was advertised. Here are the vital statistics of our model:
Name: Charles Hugh Smth
age: 60
weight: 170 pounds (77 kilos)
BMI (body mass index): 21.8
waist: 32 inches
Are you like me? Ever since my first summer job decades ago, I've been chasing financial security. Not win-the-lottery, Bill Gates riches (although it would be nice!), but simply a feeling of financial control. I want my financial worries to if not disappear at least be manageable and comprehensible.
And like most of you, the way I've moved toward my goal has always hinged not just on having a job but a career.
You don't have to be a financial blogger to know that "having a job" and "having a career" do not mean the same thing today as they did when I first started swinging a hammer for a paycheck.
Even the basic concept "getting a job" has changed so radically that jobs--getting and keeping them, and the perceived lack of them--is the number one financial topic among friends, family and for that matter, complete strangers.
So I sat down and wrote this book: Get a Job, Build a Real Career and Defy a Bewildering Economy.
It details everything I've verified about employment and the economy, and lays out an action plan to get you employed.
I am proud of this book. It is the culmination of both my practical work experiences and my financial analysis, and it is a useful, practical, and clarifying read.
Test drive the first section and see for yourself. Kindle, $9.95 print, $20
