Find a new career, as a rich guy

It’s all well and good to chase the career of your dreams. But if all you dream about is being obscenely wealthy, it’s hard to tell your guidance counselor, “I wanna grow up to be a rich guy, and I don’t care how”.
So this list of the USA’s highest-paying jobs steps in when everyone else’s greed detectors kick into gear. Although poorly researched, mistake-riddled and possibly even completely made up, it gives a good snapshot of how much more everyone else is making than you.
The list is full of surprises, too. Doctors and pilots make lots of money – who’d have thought? Dentists are worth more than IT managers – quelle surprise! Prison guards don’t need to finish High School – wonders never cease.

The scarf you should already own
Two weeks ago we talked you through the hows and whys of scarf wearing.
Now here’s the scarf to do it with. And you shouldn’t need much convincing.
It’s 100% Cashmere. It’s knitted in a quirky, classic, black plaid. It’s $88 and it’s the one thing you can’t afford to face your next winter without.

Old Spice gets a makeover, for some reason…

Some brands are forever. Ray Ban, Levi’s, Mercedes Benz – all making products that retain the same style now as they did half a century ago.
Other brands, however, have dated so hideously that all the logo changes and new products in the world are unlikely to restore their faded glory. Like Old Spice.
And yet, the aftershave so beloved by nautically-excited old men everywhere has reinvented itself as OS Signature. Claimed to be ‘new and improved’, the rebranding is so dramatic and foreign that it almost counts as deceptive marketing.
Imagine the horror of young men the world over this Christmas when, after receiving a funky, fresh cologne from ignorant, well-meaning grandparents, they apply it only to smell identical to their septuagenarian gift-givers…
