Make money doing the work you believe in

I'm envisioning a great, massive effort to recruit young men into public service jobs. There are many models as to what form those jobs would take but at their core would be the assumption of taking responsibility for others. New tribes. Dedicated to improving the lot of others and in doing so, experiencing the rewards of achievement, of clarity, of belonging. The algorithms are no place to learn a trade, to forge a job or career. If we are to survive this next great cycle of change in the country, the need for a reboot of our character, the roles that are best suited to accomplish our goals, we will need boys and men to have the opportunity to learn what giving one's best, or even just giving, is all about. The space that has been wrought by the awful of today's politics, economic insecurity, gender slanders and abuses of power will actually provide an opening for men--and women--to reclaim or redefine their happiness. Providing help for others, community service, gets us at least half way there.
