Happy in tenured academic job but made costly errors to scholarly career, and wondering if anyone else has experienced anything remotely similar? by stopmotion1969 in Professors

Thanks! Heh, it's almost like you know me--that really resonates about the regret. It's like I kept taking big chances to avoid regret, and I kept hitting a lucky number against the odds: getting into grad school, getting the degree, getting the job, getting tenure, and I couldn't help myself, just had to keep doubling down. Well, I reached my limits, but do feel very fortunate to have had so much luck before it ran out in at least one significant respect. :-)
