[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am almost 62 and ready to retire from my federal job after 29 years.  I’ve had enough.

Question:    Do you work part-time in your retirement and if so, what do you do?  Do you work in your field or in something completely different?  How long did you take a break , if any, before you found another paying job?

Inquiring minds what to know.  [/quote]

If you need to be bringing money in, I’d keep working in your fed job.[/quote]

I recently retired at 50 from the feds and I make the same amount of money working as a contractor 3 days/week as I did working full time. My spare time has obviously doubled and it has been great, no regrets whatsoever.  I'll probably fully retire in a couple of years. [/quote]

please tell us what your field is?  [/quote]

Federal law enforcement. My part time gig is a stress free security job that basically involves walking around, greeting people, checking on stuff, etc.

Working for the feds can kill your soul. And working anywhere for 20 years is just too long IMO. I couldn't believe how the culture and just everything was different once I switched to the private sector. People act like human beings and not robots, which was shocking! It's also refreshing to get away from people in LE and national security who take themselves too seriously. I think OP will be very happy, especially if he/she finds something that aligns with his/her interests.[/quote]
