What, if anything, have you done to prepare for a retirement career?

Do you have an avocation? Something you enjoy so much that you do it after putting in a full day's work?

For me it is browsing internet. I love it and give as much time as I can.

My husband and I have alot of plans since he retired last year. He likes to hunt and golf and I like to teach and surf the internet and we plan to travel, while we are still young. I've thought about going to medical school if I ever get bored, because I'd like to work with research, and the internet makes it so easy to do. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I know what you both mean. The internet has reshaped alot of earlier plans. Fortunately, I've been able to finally merge all my avocations into a great retirement career of writing and enjoying various aspects of the arts. Only now are they beginning to pay off.

Do you also hunt and golf, babyquacker?

I love the outdoors and go with my husband when I can, but the only thing I really care to shoot is my camera. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I don't much care about golf (unless it's miniature) but then again, I don't think he likes it as much as he used to! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I would like to do more with art and photography on the computer, though. So, that might start happening.

I feel the same way. I think most couples need to find at least a few things they enjoy doing together. My husband and I sailed, and that was great.

It's springtime! Anyone interested in getting their avocations off the shelf? Sailing? Fishing? Woodworking? Working with children? It's amazing how many people have taken an avocation into a full time second career.

Let's hear what you're doing.

Springtime means an opportunity to check out the summer courses for continuing education. What would be your choice for helping those getting back into the work force?

Do you think it's worthwhile for a woman over 50 to look for a career involving more college education? Why?
