I cannot relate at all. It sounds like urban angst from people who have a choice. I have worked as a non-profit arts executive for 35+ years, and cannot imagine retiring, as much as I really really want to, because I cannot afford to. And when I finally can retire well past 70, the last thing I ever want to do is serve on another bloody board of directors. I love my job, I do good and important work at the intersection of music and health, and I am blessed with excellent people. But I have TONS of other things to do with my life that do not involve work. I like my own company, I want to draw, garden, sleep - oh YES Sleep! And if the world allows it, a bit of travel if I can afford it. I do not need to prove or validate myself with any other kind of work. I want to relax and watch life instead of always driving the concept/project/program, and managing everything around me. I wish you all well.
