I have to say that I did what most people regard as my best work in my 30's. I still do some research, but not at the rate I did when I was younger. Partially, this is because i work on much harder problems than I did when I was striving for promotion, so my work is still interesting and deep, but not as flashy as it was once, I fear.Pagan Topologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611788563582362688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-41348696569947645812011-01-12T23:39:25.876-05:002011-01-12T23:39:25.876-05:00I'm sure that the mathematicians that put the ...I'm sure that the mathematicians that put the job into the number two slots are the same ones that think that a mathematician will have done all his best work before the age of 25, ie: The ones who stopped doing research in mathematics when they left academia.BenYitzhakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430486306830836961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-25005669074409034282011-01-12T18:46:39.993-05:002011-01-12T18:46:39.993-05:00I really doubt historians are #8.

They actually pay me to read, teach, and write about Spanish poetry.

Hmmm...<br />I'm very thankful to have landed on that path; one that provided for me more than adequatedly, and one that challenged me intellectually.<br />But it was stressful! The corporate world, I think.
