Good question. I could probably write an entire essay about that but the TL;DR is that I thought that tenure and financial independence were the roads to freedom, which is what I really wanted. I also really liked (and still do) the college vibe, being surrounded by interesting people thinking and talking about interesting and weird stuff.
