[quote=Anonymous]I left a government agency after 20 years and am in my early 50’s. My story is very similar to yours. I just couldn’t take it any longer, and I couldn’t find something better internally. I was able to retire early and take my medical insurance with me. I’m fortunate that I don’t need to work, but I’m thinking of doing something else. I sometimes think about returning, but then my stomach churns, and I know that I must look in another direction.

Just a note. I’ve noticed that a lot of government workers have declining health into their late 50s and 60s. On the surface, this seems odd because financially they will soon have a secure retirement. However, I think the last 10 years of government service takes a heavy, heavy toll on many government workers. They are bored and just waiting for retirement. They sit, eat, and complain. It is not a physically or mentally healthy lifestyle. It’s crazy how many people I know who had major health issues just before or after retirement. A good number died.

Happiness and joy are worth more than a government job. [/quote]
