[TheForge] Employment at big bucks "was Passing on"(YAK)

[Jerry Smith]

Andy,
         I teach metal arts and jewelry making at public schools and in 
private classes.  I retired from the Home of The Buckeyes after an 
extensive amount of time teaching and working at many universities. I don't 
really need my retirement amount of money, because I do very well at my 
metal art and jewelry making, but it's the benefits that retirement has 
given to me is the important things.
         When I retired, I could get both of my cars in to my garage. 
Today, I have one car and the garage is a combination Smithy and machine 
shop, so the car won't fit in to the garage anymore.
My basement in full of equipment and machinery. This is in my home in the 
states, my house in Canada has a big work building and it's full of 
equipment also.
         I am not that old, I just got the right number of years in and 
took the retirement and got out.
