Sharing this. So many of us need to read it.I never planned to retire, as such, although I was assumed by many to have retired when I quit my academic job in disgust (I was in my early forties!) I still need and want a bit of income, and in a society that heaps contempt on those who aren't paid for what they do, I will continue to charge. But it's good to work on my own terms, and I hope to continue to do so.

Great article Don. I retired after teaching and coaching and began my sojourn with Peace Corps. I felt I still needed to be productive.
