[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again. Mt dad is a retired professor. His intellectual vitality and curiosity have not diminished with age. He keeps writing. His new book is coming out in two weeks.[/quote] I never understand why professors even bothering retiring.[/quote] To stop wasting the university's money since they are generally no longer research active? When they retire they make way for younger faculty who have a less entitled mentality, don't ask for course release/sabbatical every time they turn around, and are competitive for top research grants. Tenured full professors who only teach a couple of times and year and don't contribute useful research are an economic drag on universities and prevent them from having the resources to hire people are more relevant in their disciplines in the 21st century. If PP's father is still research active and doing useful, relevant research, he is in the extreme minority.[/quote]
