Thomas Jefferson went to The College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, where he studied mathematics, metaphysics, and philosophy. After graduating from college he worked as a law clerk for his mentor and famous law professor/judge George Wythe.
The 65-year-old Jefferson chose to return to Monticello and watch his two close friends and proteges, James Madison and James Monroe, occupy the presidency for the next 16 years. During that time, as the "Sage of Monticello," he offered his advice on key decisions, and he continued to exert a powerful influence on the government until his death. Jefferson's only major problem during the peaceful and fruitful years of his retirement was financial; his expenses had always exceeded his income, and his openhanded hospitality at Monticello, combined with gestures such as cosigning notes for friends, brought him to the verge of bankruptcy.
After he was President, Jefferson retired to his plantation in Virginia. He wrote a lot of letters . He founded the University of Virginia. He designed the buildings, supervised their construction, chose the faculty and planned the curriculum. He served as rector once classes began. He also worked at building his second home, Popular forest, and planning the landscaping and plantings as well as the building itself.
