Why have so many men stopped working?

I can't speak to the white trash or the feral blacks, but a regular normal guy coming out of HS either has to have an "in" with a company, or has to go into the service, or try to do college....

First and foremost, you have to be willing to start at the bottom.

I know the influx of women into medical schools has exacerbated the doctor’s shortage. If there are only so many doctors graduated (the AMA capped residencies and medical school slots in the 1980s and those numbers remain flat today), the tendency of women NOT to work 70-100 hours a week compared to male doctors who do means fewer hours worked by physicians.
That in turn fueled the rise of the nurse practitioner.
