Has Anyone Here Made a Career Change?

Earlier today I learned that this time next year I'll most likely be offered an early retirement package by my employer of 23 yrs. I haven't quite figured out what I'd like to do next but doubt that it will have much to do with science & technology.

I'm aware that at least one of the regular posters here is retired. Has anyone made the switch from one career to another and if so how id it turn out? I can't believe that many college grads now expect to change careers 2 or 3 times.

I've switched careers several times, and they've all worked out pretty well. In my case, though, retirement had nothing to do with it. Opportunities came by and I took them for a change of pace.

I'd say keep your eyes open for fields that would appeal to you, and give them a try. Good luck.
