R.C., I'll turn 62 this year too! Wow, the railroad paid a lot more than the power company did back in '76!! I stared with an associate degree in electronics. 42 years later, now with the phone company, I'm a semi-retired "telecom engineer". Really I'm just a glorified data entry person. But if they want to pay, I'll stay.
Mark;
A former colleague who I worked with for many years, retired after 40 years with the Company. After he retired, whenever some usual job didn't get done as it always had, without fail, someone would say "Oh... that's what Richie did"!!! For the next couple of years, around the time that the company's annual budget process started up, I'd run into Richie around the building. I finally asked him why he came back every year and he told me that they hired home for a couple of months each year as a consultant to basically do his old job. He said it paid for a really nice vacation for him and his wife every year!!! In your case, think of it as your train fund
