Pretty People Make More Money?

Pretty is as pretty does? Maybe according to some. But when viewed through the lens of economics, beauty may be your ticket to getting hired, earning more and landing a wealthier spouse.
Or so says Daniel Hamermesh, a professor of economics at the University of Texas at Austin, and author of the new book “Beauty Pays: Why Attractive People Are More Successful.”
According to his calculations, a good-looking person will earn, on average, $230,000 more over the course of a lifetime than someone who is perceived as less attractive.
We didn’t like the sound of this, so we decided to speak with Hamermesh about his controversial stance. We sat down with him to discuss why being unattractive hurts men more than women at work, and the one factor that will influence what you earn even more than beauty.

Boat Shoes for women - Sperry Top-Siders

Boat Shoes Have Come A Long Way

No longer just old fashioned, canvas, white soled shoes; boat shoes for women, have come a long way. They can be considered a stylish commodity on or off the deck of a boat. It was hard to decide which pair of womens boat shoes I wanted; but after some deliberation, I finally chose the angelfish boat shoe.

These angelfish womens boat shoes are built for comfort.

The shoes are supportive enough to wear all day; and fashionable enough to wear to work, school or while running errands. They are a nice change from my sneakers; and I wear them with or without hosiery, depending on the season and or occasion.

Out of all the other boat shoes for women; in my opinion, the black angelfish shoes have a classy and modern look. The upper part of the shoe is leather and fabric. On this pair of womens boat shoes, the heels are one inch wedges with half inch platforms. The low heels along with the flexible, man-made sole gives me just the lift I need for short or long walks.



Well made, comfortable, fashionable and supportive; what more could you ask for in a pair of shoes. Whether boat shoes for women or not; I love these shoes.
