Impatient Idealist

I've done it at the amateur level, and unfortunately I don't think I need to do it again. I'm too old to pull that many all-nighters for shoddy results and no remuneration :-(. My dream is to have enough budget, time, and/or help to do a job I could be proud of... and getting paid would, sadly, be pretty much required. (Now if I were financially set to retire, that last part might be different.)
