A while ago, I was reading “The Lean Years” in New York Times. I agree that a lot of men are putting less effort in acquiring education and skills. It is as if they have been complacent with their position and content about just making enough to cover the basic needs their families need.

There was this article that I read stating that women nowadays have more skills, get higher educational attainment and therefore earn more than men. Getting a degree and/or studying further is not that difficult these days since one can get accredited online degrees to suit one’s needs and position.

It has even came to a point that for some one-income families, it is the woman who is in the workplace and the man who stays at home.

I know of two three households doing that though it doesn’t bother me: the gender reversal of pre-conceived roles that women stay at home while the men go to work to earn for the family.

I say whatever is more practical and beneficial then families should go for it.
