This approach to life could work for a specific type of person. If you come from a wealthy family, get a monthly allowance or some kind of financial support from them and at the same time lack the technical skills to get a STEM degree or the work ethic to start your own business and make it successful, maybe becoming a ski bum is a good idea. Or maybe you can teach English in Thailand and bang hundreds of chicks, whatever floats your boat, then come back to the real world. For many of us, this was never a realistic option.
For example, in the IT field, being 35 is being too old these days. By that age, you are supposed to have a solid resume with a good education and years of progressive work experience. Hell, you'll probably report to younger people if you are not in management by the time you reach that age.
Also, he keeps telling that young people are not taken seriously, like you have to have grey hair like Mitt Romney to be given real responsibility regardless of how much you work and how good you are. You know, there is no perfect age to work in the corporate environment. Fucking corporate swine will always find a way to make you feel inferior (and pay you less). You spend years worried that you are too young, and then suddenly, boom! You realize you you're too old and haven't made enough progress. Either way you're fucked, but if you don't play their game and have nothing else going for you, you're fucked even more.
What you don't want to end up is walking around applying to fast food jobs or some shit like that at age 35. Have fun, but also have a strategy and think about the future.
