Hmmm...actually most of those are pretty good ways to keep men happy too.

Yeah, but we're not supposed to admit it. >8)

You should have replaced the previous occurences of "men" with
"women", saying "men... can't shrug off harsh words the way men
do" seems a little silly. >8)
Other than items 4, 8, and 10, that looks quite appropriate really.

Well, it's still pretty appropriate, though.
I would have done 3 passes of search-and-replace:
woman->thingy
man->woman
thingy-man
to avoid some of the confusion.

8) Give every boy an adequate number of rest periods during the day.

Oh, yeah. I know I need at least 4 breaks to keep my lipstick fresh. ;)

what's interesting is that these sound more like today's workplace, with
breaks, changes in tasks, etc. This article makes it sound like men are happy
to work without a break, no direction, and on the same dull thing all the
time.

That was pretty much my point. The original document certainly presents a
distorted view of women, but it also presents a distorted view of men.

It's not as hard as it looks. It took me seven years of working at a
moderately well-paying job to reach the point where I could pretty much
support myself off investments, and don't really have to work any more.
Basic rules:
- Don't get into debt. Carrying car loans, house loans, college loans
will burden you so much it will take you much, much longer to reach
financial independence.
- Lots of education. Some jobs pay a lot more for a lot less work.
You want one of those to earn the money that will let you stop working
as soon as possible, and to fall back on if your investments turn sour.
Most of them require that you have a good education.
- No expensive hobbies. No fancy cars. No vacations in Rio. No big
houses. And no kids.
- Interests. Some people, if they stop working, can't find anything to
do but watch TV all day. If that's you, you're better off working.
If you find you work as hard (or harder) when you're not working than
when you are working, then you probably have the constitution for
sustained non-employment. Human beings need to be doing something to
remain healthy.

I don't have to worry about college, but it is the finding a relatively
good job part that worries me.

"Three-year-plans" also help reduce the cost of college.

How do you compare studying high and being paid less and studying little
but able to earn well. I think academic qualification matters only if you
like to impress upon people.

There are high paid jobs that you don't need college degrees for. But you
do need uncommon skills (or uncommon luck) to get them. Uncommon skills, even
if you are born with them, need some kind of education to hone them. That
doesn't have to be college education.

Re: #16 Did you work through college to support it? I worked two semesters
as a teaching assitant even though I cut down the costs of college. To be
honest, I don't feel like it cost me anything. I guess it's different for
each person, but if I had to do it again, I'd do that part exactly the same
way. Besides, my parents need all the savings they can get. They still need
to put my sister through college.

My parents paid for the first four years of college (Big Thanks, Mom & Dad).
The remaining seven years were paid for by teaching and research
assistanceships. I earned more money during college than I spent, though
without my parent's support I would probably have come out dead even and would
probably have had to borrow money to pay for the first for years, and with
the interest, probably wouldn't have come out even.
Re #19: Examples of high paying jobs that don't require college educations?
How about Michael Jackson and Bill Gates? I don't know if either has a
college degree, but you don't have to look far for evidence that you can
earn a lot of money without a degree. For most people, degrees are the
surest and easiest bet though.

Bill Gates dropped out of college - I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a degree.

aruba is correct. Why did I get my degree, anyway? >8)
