I am not tenure material but I am working towards a plan - I intend to self fund my own tenure (at least 6 months a year), just to work on the stuff I want to.

One day (not really UBI) we shall all self fund tenures ...

Interesting. If you don't mind me asking, how do you plan to do this? Grants? Investors? Trust fund?

If you can sustain yourself longer than 6 months, have you considered just starting your own lab/business?

The plan is basically early semi-retirement - not tax payer funded tenure. That seems to have come across wrong - the idea is to find a way to fund myself (through my own earnings /savings /business) so Incan do the things I really want.
