This chart below from our friends at EPIC is deeply troubling. It shows that fewer and fewer males between the ages of 16-24 are working. It used to be more than 70% were working, now it is less than 60%.

We would argue this is the MOST important age for men to be hard at work and honing their job skills. As we’ve said 100 times, the younger that men (especially) start working, the more successful they are in their careers and their lifetime earnings.

If we had our way, every college student would be working 10 to 20 hours a week.

The college student loan program should be replaced by a student work program.
