My credentials remain the same (naturally), save for the fact that my undergraduate institution is no more, I've spent my working life practicing law on the state and federal level in the US, 9th and 2nd Circuits, Criminal and Administrative. My values have not changed, but my circumstances have. Otherwise, the usual set of eclectic subject matters are still those that I've spent a great deal of time on, as I found myself able to retire in my mid 30s without debt or need to work actively for an income. It is in part fortuitous and in part because I spent many weeks working 80 hours on salary or occasionally no pay whatsoever. As a tool to speed up mundane tasks I learned programming (largely Python, but also the newer varieties of javascript, some Java, Solidity, Lua, and as well as reverse engineering down to the byte code. My focus, now that I am free to choose such things remains history, and historical matters by large, although now with the added benefit of American law, in particular criminal and administrative law, and baseball, in terms of metrics, advanced statistics, and such. With one terminal degree in hand and being much older than your typical master's student, with the added complication that my transcript seems to be very difficult to obtain and is likely to return to show that I earned a BA in history from an art college, formal education for me likely ends here, but that is only a small part of things, I think. I think that being educated in a liberal arts setting have endowed me not with an employable skill per se but rather, the flexibility in how to analyze, think, and sanity check my writings.
