Ooh this sounds interesting, I'm game

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Alright, let's get to it then. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Pretty much where I am now: retired, spending my time on fitness, healthy cooking, hubby, and hobbies. Worried about aging. Hopefully both parents will still be alive.

Well that narrows it down quite a bit. What did you do before you retired?

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

For most of my career I worked in academia as a researcher and analyst, and I've also done some consulting outside of academia. It's a pretty niche field so to protect my identity I don't want to be more specific than that.

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ok, that's understandable. Honestly, i think i can make a guess right now as a lot of the information you gave me is quite specific to an age group. Maybe between 47 and 57. If i had to guess, I'd say 52

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ooh, close but not quite there. I'm 42!

What the hell? How have you retired from academia at such an early age?

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ha! Everyone asks that. No kids, small house, zero debt. We try to live somewhat cheaply so we don't need much money.
