And then there's the flip side of that of people like me, even though I started out in that other way, but then end up going fully into the academic realm and not necessarily leaving practice, but leaving practice to teach.

It's really about full-time teaching, making that transition from a practitioner of so many years into full-time teaching, which again, I know a lot of people that have done that.
