Just retired after 30 years practicing law. So I'm a lawyer-in-recovery.

After being a professional student until I was married and had a kid, I finally decided I should earn a paycheck. After that I was a college professor for nearly 30 years. I've been retired for about 5 years and now teach yoga and meditation at a retreat center. It's a great life.

First retirement after 20 years, 1 month & 8 days in the Marine Corps.
Working on 19th year as a Comcast Engineer. If all goes well, 4 to go and it's retirement for good. I could retire now, but I like ribeye as opposed to flank.

College instructor and semi-professional musician. I played about 70 shows last year. I was on track to do about 100 this year, but COVID happened.

I managed a couple of gelatin processing plants for 32 years. Then I partially retired and worked part time at our city art center for ten years. I've been completely retired for a little over a year now. This is what I was ment to do

I've been a taxidermist specializing in fish for 36 years now but considering reducing my work load or retiring from it. (Burned out) Collecting social security at 62. I did some freelance writing and an outdoor column part of that time too and some factory stints during slow times.

I also have four ponds on the property with some indoor tanks systems I built, and hatch and raise trophy size Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Tiger trout, Steelhead, Yellow Perch, Bluegill, and Largemouth Bass I ship in insulated boxes whole frozen to taxidermists from coast to coast. Actually that is now on hold due to unreliable ground shipping during Covid-19, and the alternative expedited shipping is in many cases more costly than the fish. Will wait to for colder weather to start shipping again.

Retired from full time employment, but still maintain a small private practice as a psychotherapist. It’s been interesting the past few months;
I’ve been seeing clients via telehealth only.
