How will he replace him if he is worse-performing? I'm not sure this imaginary company is competent.

Society doesn't refuse anything. If a male CEO wants to work less, he can do so. If another male potential CEO can perform better by working more, he will probably replace him. The only solution to this is to mandate working hours for CEOs,

This is a real shame. The comedy that is YouTube comments will be greatly diminished.

Actually my intention was neither; I simply asked a question I am curious about the answer to. Why is it a problem that nursing is dominated by women?

Why do you think rent control is a good idea? How could it possibly be done fairly?

Another way to fix this is to fast-track immigration for the qualified foreigners.

First thing is not to expect much. Your first reaction will be 'Is this it? Suburbia and McMansions?'. And you will be right. The factor that makes it a 'tech hub' is the people (take them away and Palo Alto becomes utterly uninteresting),

Nightlife/bars in Boston are absolutely not the issue here. Compared to Boston, everything in San Francisco closes much earlier and public transport is inferior to boot. Yet people still flock there.

What if I have a spare 8 hours a week (say, Saturdays), and want to use them every week to earn some extra cash (at say $12 an hour, coming out to an extra $96 a week). Should I be prevented from doing this?

There is an assumption underlying my premise: that organisations are in competition with one another. I think that's a fair assumption to make. I would expect that competing organisations would do anything legal to give them a leg up over t

By your logic no part-time hourly-wage work should ever exist.

The free market actually doesn't reward this behaviour. Consider that organisations that decide not to pay their workers might very well lose out to those who do. If Organisation A doesn't pay their workers, then all my organisation has to

This dilemma applies to everyone. If you can't afford to do what you want, then earn money doing something else until you can. Alternatively, do both at the same time, using your earned money to simultaneously subsidise your time doing the

Organisations have decided that this specific set of internships aren't worth paying a wage for. Workers have decided that they are worth their time, for the experience/foot in the door they gain. If you ban unpaid internships, companies wo

The phenomenon you describe is still ever-present in the online format if you stick to their deadlines. If you ignore them and the associated grade penalties, then ok I agree.

"Don't ignore your dreams; don't work too much;" Aren't these two mutually exclusive? My feeling (caveat: I'm only in my late 20's) is that it's impossible to simultaneously eliminate all the regrets on Ms. Ware's list. If you work really h

Fine, but your opinion is in the extreme minority. The majority of people not only don't think it's better than Facebook - they simply don't care.

They don't have a good product (yet?). No one uses Google+ besides nerds and people who work at Google. It makes it all the more irritating that they are forcing a non-compelling product down the throats of everyone. The only happiness gene
