Actually I think probably not. Loving the job, and then wanting to do it right up until the end is another thing. The job is a lot more stressful than many other choices, and stress and age don't mix together too well for the old ticker. Saving Changes...
I believe I will be using project management in non profits; but the landscape may very different than it is now. Saving Changes...

My last job before retirement was a sales job. But I considered myself as a program manager, utilizing stakeholder and benefits management and governance.
Project management centers around dealing with uncertainity and fear.
You can do anything once you have a portfolio of behaviors to handle uncertainity.

That's cool Deepesh. Touring the world takes most hours of the day so you can only really do it when work is not an issue anymore ie. in retirement.
