Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

There must be more to life, isn't there?

That's what the politicians promise you, but in all honesty, is there? (Asks PeWi a failed Academic, bored IT professional and Comfortable Christian)

Those politicians never give a satisfactory answer though do they to what that "more" is?

I prefer to think of ex academics less as failed, more as escaped or cured ;-)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

I definitely think of myself as more of an escaped academic, rather than a failed one.
