The Rise of Men Who Don’t Work – And What They Do Instead
Look ma, that's me!  Free of a soul crushing corporate job, back to doing a "startup", I may not have the cash rolling in, but at least I'm in control of my destiny.   Hey Ma, I'm moving in!<p>I think there are a lot of people out there like me.  I have some money coming from side projects, several opportunities to grow that, and several opportunities for new side projects.<p>And quite a long personal runway before I have to "get a job" again.<p>If I can get to personal ramen profitability, that would be great.<p>And if my cofounders and I get a real startup off the ground that can pay us salaries.... well, then I can start showing up in statistics as employed again.<p>But either way, it's not as big a deal to me as it would be to men of my age 20 years ago.<p>And that's a huge shift-- in opportunity towards the individual.
