When I first started in my career, an old head told me that he had done some research on longevity in our field. I was told that the life expectancy of a career employee (twenty years or more) in our field, in our town, was fifty-eight. The average life expectancy of a career employee (again, twenty years or more) in our field, in our town, after retirement, was five years. I have retired. My wife says she will work until she is eighty, with or without me.
Congratulations. I wish you the best.
