Who is 50+ and does NOT want to retire?

I left my last FT job in 2017. Tried a couple of startups that quickly flamed out. I'm on the back side of 50, disgustingly healthy, and enjoy being part of winning teams. FWIW: product manager, ex-developer, semiconductors/software/IoT. Austin.

I have enough money to retire - that's not the issue. I could volunteer more & probably will - but that's not going to fill the intellectual void.

So, I want to keep working. SURELY I'm not the only person who thinks like this. Right?



I'm cracking 50, and I can't even imagine "retiring". In addition to my dayjob (which is plenty rewarding) I also volunteer for FEMA, Skywarn, ARES, and ARRL. Also looking to get my EMT cert. If I sat around on some beach somewhere drinking Pina Coladas I would probably lose my freekin' mind out of boredom.


+1 and 73's
