I suppose for the same reason he thinks the only path to anything is
the one he took. Yet he ended up sitting on a bus for a couple hours a
day going to work at a time in his life when he should be retired and
enjoying his boat.

And once again, you demonstrate your inability to comprehend...
I never have thought or stated that the educational path I took is the
only one.

I do indeed take about one round trip bustrip a week to downtown DC to
see clients because I like working and my clients
still think I have the skills to help them in their endeavors. As I have
stated several times here, I have many friends and colleagues my age and
older who are still actively working part-time because they like it and
they still have the ability to contribute.

Why do you think your way is the only path? I'd go nuts if pretty much
all I had to do in life was work on a never-ending "honey do" list, take
my dog boating, and go on the occasional out of town vacation.

In other words your plan is to die at your desk working.

It is called having a life that goes beyond having a job.

My plan is to work part-time for as long as I feel like working
part-time. I enjoy the work, the intellectual stimulation, the meeting
with clients, the production of work product that helps people. I'm not
the sort of guy who would like to fill his day with your jar of honey-do
jobs.

I'm a candidate to be named to a board of an NGO that helps locals in
Africa and Central and South America build and hold onto sustainable
communities. To me, that is a lot more worthwhile and interesting than
rebuilding an outdoor bar. To each his own.

Be a little suspicious when they ask for your bank account number and SS
Number.

Big problem for a lot of people. No life outside work. My dad was
management at UC Berkeley in building and grounds and during a strike he
was kept busy fixing the normal broke stuff and the sabotage by the union
strikers. After the strike, he took early retirement at 55 due to
animosity at fixing sabotage. Problem he retired to his lake property, and
other than the 3 months of summer, most of the social activity was at the
local bar. Cancer may not have killed him at 68, if he had stayed local to
where we grew up.
