The Three Laws of Future Employment | Newgeography.com
Let’s start with the three Laws of Future Employment.

Law #1: People will get jobs doing things that computers can’t do.

Law #2: A global market place will result in lower pay and fewer opportunities for many careers. (But also in cheaper and better products and a higher standard of living for American consumers.)

Law #3: Professional people will more likely be freelancers and less likely to have a steady job.

Lifehacker - The Long Weekend Comment Thread Is Here - open thread
Treat college as a 9-5 Job. Have breakfast at 8:30 and from 9-5 do nothing but school work. My roommate did this, and while we were up till all hours of the night doing homework, and studying he was out with the smart chicks, drinking and having fun.

Calibration
In high school I was comfortable within certain social circles, but I was still introverted. Starting at college, I decided to become more extroverted; I just dove in and attempted to be as social as possible. I accepted any and all opportunities for social interaction. If anyone invited me to go out, I always said yes. I made a huge commitment to elevate this part of my life, and I stuck with it for my entire freshman year. This strategy actually worked. I hadn’t read any books on social skills at the time, but I quickly calibrated my social skills via trial and error. Within a few weeks, I’d made dozens of new friends, and I was going to parties every week. I created an absolutely amazing social life. In the beginning, it seemed like I was always the one to initiate new connections, but soon additional connections began flowing into my life almost effortlessly. Eventually I had so many invites coming to me passively that I didn’t have to initiate. I probably went overboard.
