Doug Flutie and Patrick Ewing
Doug Flutie announced his retirement from football today. I read the article in the NY Times because I remember when he won the Heisman trophy and thought that he had done so when I was in college. He won in 1984.
It’s sort of ironic that while my career is on it’s way up, professional athletes my age are retiring. Patrick Ewing graduated a year after I did but has retired.
In college they said it was likely that my generation would be one where over the course of our working lives we would probably have several careers.
Personally, I retired from the career of not knowing what I wanted to do with my life in my late twenties. Fortunately in my current career being 43 or 44 does not make one ready to be put out to pasture. It’s only when your brain starts to decline is it suggested that your time is past. Of course, that could happen at 43 or 44 but so far so good.
