[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 991516, member: 4932"] I retired at 57 in 2007; I said when UPS turned 100, I was gone. No regrets. Unlike some, I never had my whole sense of worth locked into my career, even though it was a good one. Two friends of mine hung on, couldn't see themselves retiring; then they did, and discovered there is SOOOOO much life outside of UPS. They are busier than ever, having fun and enjoying life. For anyone who thinks they would be bored after retiring, I have just one word for you: VOLUNTEER! Your local Red Cross will cry tears of joy to acquire a volunteer with a UPS career who wants to drive an ERV and help out at disasters. Your church probably needs your skills, or a local youth center, or Meals on Wheels, or an agency that helps elderly people get to doctor appointments and what not. A UPS background is SO VALUABLE to so many charities that it is unlikely that you couldn't find something to interest you and keep you busy a couple days a week. [/QUOTE]
