I have three adult sons. They are a study in delving into the sharing economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n I have three adult sons. One has a traditional paid job. He leaves his home five mornings a week, drives to an office, works, and receives a paycheck that is 100% of his income.<\/p>\n A second son works from four to seven days a week. Sometimes he works days and sometimes he works nights. His paycheck is about 50% of his income.<\/p>\n A third son works a few hours a night two or three nights a week. He works an hour or two here and there during the week teaching people one on one. Sometimes he works a six-hour day for three or four days in a row, but then doesn’t do that for weeks at a a time. He receives a dozen different paychecks each month.<\/p>\n My three sons have three different personalities. That is normal. The oldest is four years older than the youngest. Those four years saw a huge difference in the health of the U.S. economy. My third son scrambles for a living. That is explained by his personality and by the health of the economy. The traditional job and economy of the first son described is disappearing.<\/p>\n Maybe, just maybe, one day the traditional economy will return to some of its former health. Until then, the generation of my sons will scramble about in the sharing economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Dwayne Phillips I have three adult sons.
