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. In other words your plan is to die at your desk working. 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. It is called having a life that goes beyond having a job. 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. |
