Welcome to theruleshavechanged.com !

This website is dedicated to all things you can imagine but mostly to the fact that the rules have changed. 'What rules have changed', you ask?

No longer are the traditional methods of earning income the dominating factor in our economy. The old ways of earning income are out and the new way of generating income is in. The old ways were taught to us as; (1) get an education, (2) get a job with a big company and, (3) stay there forever and retire with a big pension or retirement plan.

Sorry!!! That doesn't work for the vast majority of people any more. In fact, colleges are now teaching their students to prepare for 7 career changes or more over their lifetime. It really doesn't matter why the traditional model doesn't work any longer, it just doesn't. It is your choice to accept that or reject it. We can take a look at it from the historic standpoint. At the turn of the century in and around the year 1900 our economy was primarily agricultural based. The industrial revolution really hadn't had a major impact yet. In fact, 90% of our population was self employed either through their farm and produce livelihood or some form of merchandising. As factories multiplied and consumer purchasing power increased, the transfer from a production society to a consuming society began. Soon, there were jobs galore and the population explosion was perfect to fill all the factory and plant work increasing across the country.
