I like the proposal. Actually Peter Drucker proposed something
close to this about 30 years ago--but on a much broader scale.
He believe that ALL college professors should take a forced
sabbatical every 7 years to put their toes in the water again
plus rejuvenate themselves. He makes a very strong case because
the majority of professors burn out sometime in their 40s. He
claimed that only 5% stay excited and invigorated about their
discipline after 20 years...not to mention remaining current.
