Do you mean what year, or at what age?This looks like a good poll topic. If you are retired, when did you quit?

Just curious - now that phone booths have all but totally disappeared, where do you change?I just got invited to co-organize an international conference on emergency risk regulation in Paris.

I'm beginning to understand why.I was awarded Professor Emeritus status at the age of 56.
I don't care if he's making it up or it is completely accurate. Constant boasting of how "special" he is leads me to believe he's far from it - and compensating for his feeling of inadequacy.I think people should stop assuming Emeritus is making it all up. As an academic myself, I know quite a few senior academics who do all the type of things he is describing. Heck, I've even done some of those things myself....like organizing an international conference. And some of the academics I know have a large ego, too.

All the successful research university academics I know have substantial egos.
