Kudos to you for forging a different path. I've been in academia for almost 20 years - non-tenure track with a Ph.D. teaching hospitality and tourism... post-pandemic almost feels like post-apocalyptic in my field. I've always preferred doing and building over researching and have managed to find ways to incorporate much of what I love into my day-to-day at school.

Julia - thanks for sharing your story!
One question I've been wondering recently is how should academics plan their transitions to industry given current turbulence in industry job market?
