		<description><![CDATA[This is the conclusion to my own Failure Seminars contribution. Here&#8217;s Part 1 and here&#8217;s Part 2. And then I came back, and started to look for a job.

		<description><![CDATA[This is a continuation of the story begun here. There&#8217;s still more to go; although I talk about making the decision to leave academia in this post, I&#8217;m going to devote another post to what the transition out of the academy was like and to how it appears in hindsight. In November, the weather turned [...]]]></description>

So long, in fact, that I&#8217;m not going to post it all right now; in fact, I&#8217;m not even going to post about my actual decision to leave my field (academic philosophy), its reasons or its consequences, today. I started [...]]]></description>

Or perhaps I felt I had to walk away from academia because I&#8217;d failed, or perhaps walking away was itself a failure. I don&#8217;t know.
