Oof. One of my favorite professors had gone emeritus toward the end of his career, and I really hope he was there for prestige and not precarity :( He was a lovely professor and did things like, when he assigned his own book for our class, present us with a receipt that showed he had donated his earning-equivalent to charity because he did not feel it ethically okay to profit from us but did feel his book was the best he could assign for the class. I adored him. (He passed away about six years ago and I still mourn. I took extra classes with him despite the fact that he assigned twice as much workload as the rest of the department AND he was outside my specialty because he was so great.)

I'm glad you're getting out, though.
