I still have clients for which I design microcontroller devices and write software. Since I'm retired and tired, I don't charge the rate I could. I'm really busy. They tell me that the youngsters don't really seem to want work. They work projects like deadlines mean nothing to them.

I'm 73, and have been retired since 2015. I work to keep from becoming bored or "losing my edge".

I even taught Embedded Computing in high school for three years. I stopped that because I don't want to spend the money or time to get a certificate. The teaching was a blast. The school was unbelievably supportive of me.

You are so lucky to be doing something you love. I envy you.

I did all the stuff you claimed, but not taught.
I could not stand dealing with the liberals that administer those that “teach” these days.
They even offered to pay for my accreditation.
I make more money sitting on my a$$ in one day drinking beer than any 4 days teaching young “special” Hawaiians how to program an FPGA to emulate an old 68340 or 8051.
I fully understand why kids don’t want to work.
This political Woke stuff is BS.
