That's why I went into academia. I make a lot less money than some people, but
free time in summer is a major reason I love what I do.

Taking sabbaticals is something many companies used to offer- very rare now

Mine still does. I'm eligible for 5 weeks. 6 if I time it right with holidays.

My dad got something similar when he worked for intel. I don't remember how often it was. This was in the '90s

And then you take normal vacation on top of that to extend it to 10 weeks.

It's an option - 8 weeks after 7 years, or 4 weeks after 4 years

Yes, this is the current practice. My group doesn't track vacation so no one

Great benefits in Utah are a thing of the past. Decent medical but no dental, no
