I have a friend who worked for Sikorsky who became eligible for what I
guess was a generous early retirement package five years ago, but his
employer "made him an offer he couldn't refuse" to stay on his job, so
he stayed and just actually retired this past spring. Now, he's
"consulting" with a couple of the customers of his old employer. I guess
if you are in a technical field and have skills that are hard to
replace, you never really retire unless you really want to retire.
"I was retired for a week," he told me in June, "but having nothing real
to do except make-work and hobbies and golf and fishing seemed too boring."
Yup.
As opposed to a liberal arts field with easily replaceable skills, eh?
