Is it odd for a Supreme Court Justice who just stepped down (rather suddenly) from the Supreme Court, where they have lifetime tenure, go back to work at his old teaching job? Sounds like something somebody might do who just got fired. . .

In 1967, Breyer married The Honourable Joanna Freda Hare, a psychologist and a member of the British aristocracy, younger daughter of John Hare, 1st Viscount Blakenham and granddaughter of Richard Hare, 4th Earl of Listowel. They have three adult children: Chloe, an Episcopal priest; Nell; and Michael
Ketanji Brown Jackson
Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Miami, Florida, Jackson attended Harvard University for college and law school, where she served as an editor of the Harvard Law Review. She began her legal career with three clerkships, including one with U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer.
In 1989, when Jackson was a freshman at Harvard, her uncle Thomas Brown Jr. was sentenced to life in prison for a nonviolent cocaine conviction in which federal agents found 14 kilograms of cocaine, wrapped in duct tape, court records show.[15] Years later, Jackson persuaded a law firm to take his case pro bono, and President Barack Obama eventually commuted his sentence.[16] Another uncle, Calvin Ross, served as Miami's police chief.
In her senior year, she won the national oratory title at the National Catholic Forensic League championships in New Orleans.
Jackson then studied government at Harvard University, having applied to Harvard despite her high school guidance counselor's advice to set her sights lower. At Harvard, Jackson performed improv comedy and took classes in drama.
On September 20, 2012, Obama nominated Jackson to serve as a judge for the United States District Court for the District of Columbia to the seat vacated by retiring Judge Henry H. Kennedy Jr.
Jackson was introduced at her December 2012 confirmation hearing by Republican Paul Ryan, a relative through marriage, who said "Our politics may differ, but my praise for Ketanji's intellect, for her character, for her integrity, it is unequivocal."
I wonder if this might be relevant to his departure?
Breyer served as a law clerk to associate justice Arthur Goldberg of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1964 to 1965, and served briefly as a fact-checker for the Warren Commission.
