Diversifying is admitting you’re smart enough to invest… and humble enough to know you can still be wrong. –YNOT! You are going to fail. That ain’t pessimism. That’s just life refusing to read your motivational posters. The real question is not if you fail. The real question is whether your failure becomes tuition… or a permanent address. Most people treat failure like a public execution. Smart people treat it like expensive training. There’s a difference. A young man loses $5,000 in the stock market and calls himself ruined. An old investor loses $500,000 and calls it “education.” Funny thing … Continue readingHow to Fail Intelligently…and Learn From It

Why Are There So Many AI Jobs in 2026, and So Few People Who Can Actually Do Them?

🔧 The Skilled Trades Reality Check — make $100k without a Degree

“The economy doesn’t care how long you studied. It cares whether you can solve a problem that people need solved.” — YNOT!   For decades America told its kids there were only two kinds of futures.

The HVAC techs bought houses while the communications majors … Continue reading🔧 The Skilled Trades Reality Check — make $100k without a Degree

AI – the JOB DOZER

Ladies and gentlemen, gather around and lend an ear to a most peculiar spectacle of our era: artificial intelligence—an invention so cunningly contrived. It’s cutting a trail through offices and courtrooms faster than a runaway stagecoach, rustling up jobs and redistributing them like poker chips at a floating  card table. AI is going for your business. There are businesses that are going to be made obsolete or substantially hampered by AI. It’s not going to be the plumber or the waitress, but it might be the lawyer or definitely a reduction in staff and diagnostics in the hospital or … Continue readingAI – the JOB DOZER

If I were a criminal and wanted to steal your identity, your financial information, and basically your entire life, I wouldn’t hack into your accounts—I’d make you hand everything over willingly. And the easiest way to do that? A fake job website. Here’s how it works: I’d send you an email saying my company is hiring people just like you. You’d click the link to my website, which looks professional and legitimate. You’d register, upload your resume, and create a username and password. But here’s the thing—most people use the same password for everything, including their email. If you … Continue readingThe Dark Side of Job Hunting
