#22Author claims to have been working for 38 years. They're not quitting, they're retiring. What a silly article.
So, after a law professor retires s/he immediately stops thinking about law?

Yes, s/he does.

#27First world problems :) I'm grateful for the opportunity to work from home, support my family comfortably, be in a field with lots of employment opportunities to fall back on, and be constantly learning new stuff. Sorry it didn't work out for you, but it sounds like you found other interests to occupy you and (hopefully) support you, e.g. fantasy/scifi writing.
What? The author was in the field for THIRTY-EIGHT YEARS!

#29In the end, we all have a choice of what we want to focus on and what to do about it.
Stay focused on the bright side, minimize the negative, and keep on keep'n on.
