What adjustments have you made in your life? I know when I have semi-retired a few times, I got a lot of stuff done, but eventually ran out of things to do, TV shows and movies to catch up on, friends to visit.... How's it going?

Not as well as I hoped Neal tbh...hobby wise I now realise I was ill-prepared for and gardening is one of the tasks I hate most in life.
My biggest regret is witnessing my wife going to work due to the fact she never had the opportunity to enrol in the gold plated/final salary pension schemes that were available to me before we met. I'm already starting to consider looking for a part-time driving job or something along those lines. Can't grumble too much though when I consider how some folk are finding it hard to meet their fuel bills and put food on the table for their kids during this current period of austerity and even whilst holding down a job in many cases. Kind of you to ask mate ![]() |

While I am young Jimbuna I have Known several retirees and they all found another job that was partime or in some cases full time... They told me and I quote "retirement was killing me".

You need to get yourself a good "Director's uniform" as curator/president of the Buna Aeroplane Museum. You can hire your daughter to work in the giftshop.

One of the good aspects of not scraping by financially and being retired, you can take other jobs and if they don't suit you--quit and try something else. Since I left Dow I have been a Crowne Plaza Hotel manager, Cycle Gear salesman, Suzuki/Honda salesman, school teacher, and ranch hand. It keeps life interesting and helps you keep your mind fit--learning and training on a regular basis. I got my commercial driver's license Wednesday and will be driving cross country in a few weeks. Looking forward to it. What kind of driving were you considering?

Years ago, I knew I didn't want to stop working after retiring from the fire department. I went back to school and got a degree in sports medicine. That's one of my part time jobs now. I'm covering a middle school, little pressure, if someone does get hurt, tell the parents to take the kid to the doctor. I'm also a state fire/rescue instructor. It's enough to keep me busy without killing me on time.

What would it take for you to get a degree in policing and teach it?
