AnswersSupposing I were offered early retirement, would I take it? That's a good question.Well, leaving the salary considerations for now, I do wish had more time at home, so I probably would. However, I would miss doing something worthwhile and the contact with people, so I would look into volunteering work either abroad or locally. I'd always rather work with people in some way. Were I to volunteer, I'd work with people in need. Actually it's not a bad idea - it's high time I used my degree; after all I studied special needs education. It would be nice to return to it at the end of my career. I always wished I had worked in Asia, so maybe I can even combine the two.
