An article close to my heart!

Retiring at 62-65 is too early and unwarranted; especially so where there are no arrangements for transition. On average a retiree will be walking away with two and more decades of experience. I am/was an international development worker and my assignments have taken me to three continents and exposed me to diverse and new cultures, political frameworks and social values. I have made mistaken assumptions and reached mistaken decisions but I want to believe I did learn from my mistakes, some of which I would have liked to share and pass on. But in my profession, like most, age seems to matter and the young seem to be the preferred stock! Granted, the change of guards is inevitable but the current arrangement, at least in my experience, does not appreciate and leave room for a transition that allows the young to benefit from those who were there before them. Best.
