Several years ago, my friend, Dr. Jed Diamond explained how masculine acculturation was creating a huge obstacle for men in the workforce: both young and old. »more»

You have competency. That's not enough. You have experience. So do a lot of other people. You have long-term loyalty. That's not relevant. You have a family, a mortgage, car payments, expenses, tuition. It's not even a consideration. You're over fifty; it's too late to start over for crying out loud! Nobody's listening. »more»

Once more, the Grim Reaper is coming up the pathway to visit the old year, 2008. The economic forces that were put in motion over the last ten years have finally tipped the scales, particularly over the last six months. Huge corporations are dropping like flies or are begging to be propped up by the very people most hurt by their business decisions (us). »more»

Thinking of retiring? If pundits are right (and it certainly looks that way from here), the concept of 'retirement' has been put to rest — permanently. Take a look at the recent history of employee benefits. Pensions were the first to go. They relied on a continuous growth model that has since proved to be unsustainable. They were replaced by IRA's and 401K's. How are yours doing these days? »more»

There's a qualitative difference between the male ego and the female ego. I've never heard of anyone demanding of any female that she prove that she's a 'real woman.' It's just assumed.

Most of us like to think that a mutually agreed upon divorce or simple job lay off is not shameful. But something in our culture and deep within our own psyche begs to differ. I found my own divorce to feel quite shameful. What I say now is that any divorce, no matter how mutally desired, traumatizes the people involved and feels like a failure on some level. »more»

The Los Angeles Times writes about baby boomers using the increased equity in their homes to finance a reinvention of their lives. Notwithstanding recent housing woes, most boomers who have lived in their homes for more than a few years have a great deal of equity and are capable of using some of that to pay for a new start somewhere else. »more»

Marc Freedman's “Encore: Finding Work That Matters In the Second Half of Life” is a detailed analysis about the meaningful work that members of the baby boomer generation are increasingly seeking after leaving their primary careers. Encore careers are a significant social trend that represent a new phase of an individual’s work life. Historically, the author notes, the proverbial goal of aging was to secure freedom from work. Now the goal is to secure meaningful work—that is work that has a sense of purpose. »more»
