Not always practical or financially sound, I suppose.
Can you think of some occupation that your boss (even if you're the boss) would have to pry you away from, and additionally why you're not doing whatever that is?
I worked in systems engineering back in the late '80s to '91. That was that job. Got laid off when peace broke out and was unable to ever regain that job. It was an incredible amount of responsibility where mistakes would cost millions in life and property. That adds a little zest to the workday, I can tell you.
Fuckin peace!
