Have you ever wondered if you'll end up as someone's PhD thesis?

Yep, you'd need something to do to keep the symptoms of chronic depression at bay. Me, I'd strongly consider moving out of state...... if I was living/teaching in College Station then I'd have no reason to stop working either.

One of the reasons I started writing "The Military Guide" was Russ Graves' PhD thesis on whether military officers were financially independent (and could stop working after retiring from the military) or had to find another job as soon as they retired from the military.
It was based on a survey. Some of the sketchier data indicated that the more senior military officers (hypothetically the ones who achieved FI more easily) were much less likely to retire for good but instead would keep working until they were no longer able. This was not surprising, given some of the senior officers I've seen, but it piqued my curiosity.

Russ' last duty station was at Texas A&M, where he retired from the military to get his PhD and keep on teaching. To his credit, if I was living/teaching in College Station then I'd have no reason to stop working either. I haven't e-mailed him in a while but when the book is shipping to the exchanges then I'm going to mail him a copy.

Well, if you're gonna live in Texas then you might as well go for all the misery you can grab...Yep, you'd need something to do to keep the symptoms of chronic depression at bay. Me, I'd strongly consider moving out of state...
