Joe is Going to Retire

Well, not only because Physics is the coolest. I was too immature when I was young, then I grew up....got married...got into something I made a commitment to as a career....but I've always wanted to study physics. I totally want to do research and work in academia.

And now that I've got a retirement stipend, a 3.76 Grade point average for my AA degree, a little disability and lots of time; I can pursue something that has always seemed a bit out of reach for a regular joe like myself.

That's exciting. Seriously. Opening a new chapter in your life.

I hope the disability bit is minor. The rest sounds great.

Hey, congratulations Joe. Your smart to jump right into it because when somebody retires they're likely to think, no hurry I've got all the time in the world now. But time flies, baby, flies. Not to mention school is much cheaper than a mistress.

Since you're going to be a physics guru, here's a map to find your way.

Sounds like a great start Joe!
