A friend of mine is a professor in anthropology and he told me that he stayed in academia because he was afraid of change and academia was something he knew well.
I struggled emotionally when I left academia for a couple years before and after leaving. Now, years later I’m very happy I left. But I did struggle with re-anchoring my sense of success for a long time. I felt like I had failed because I didn’t stay on the tenure track. But it was fine not being there.

I’ve heard that about prisoners.
Why would the prisoners know a lot about academia?
Prison is post-secondary for criminals
