Any Aon pension actuaries who could help my friend understand the hierarchy of titles? Let’s say my friend has 10 years of experience, FSA and EA credentials, was a consistently high performer over his career, what would his expected title be at Aon within the core retirement actuarial business? Thanks in advance.

I had relatives who retired and were quite miserable, they would find things to keep themselves busy but they felt like they didn't have much purpose. So I relate to your feelings about not wanting to retire. I feel like I'd enjoy it for a short while and then the boredom would hit. Having said that, I do recognize that at some point I'll probably be physically challenged or just exhausted and retirement won't strike me as such an oppressive concept.

OMG, yes even on vacation. I know this is crazy but I get bored and I’m ready to return to work so I really honestly I’m not somebody who can retire fully. Nope can’t do it.
I worked part time in a primary care office for 5 years after I retired from my full time job. Was a good transition into full retirement and believe me here is plenty to keep you busy once you fully retire ie travel, volunteering, cleaning out those closets and drawers you never had time for before.
I will be working til I die. If I can keep a job, that is.
I have always seem most nurses go from working until they become the patients. I stayed home for a few months after I retired. I got bored as hell. I now work just weekends at a local nursing home. It’s not ICU, but it is enough.

Seeee
I am not physically challenged but mentally I can’t . The disrespect is beyond comprehension

It’s bad out there for sure !!!
Oh, no, I'm 100% with you here. I always say that if and when I retire, I will still work part-time or be an adjunct at the college or something. I refuse to just let all these years of nursing go out the window when that time comes. Heck, I'd even volunteer if I couldn't get hired somewhere.

Me too !!! I cannot sit still and my hobby is shopping and self care so for that i need money continuous lol
Truthfully, I don't think I will ever retire. It seems like no matter how much I try to save, it doesn't happen. I truly don't think I will ever be able to stop working.

Oh same also I’m somebody who lives in the moment. I’m gonna spend my money now and enjoy myself now because we never know what tomorrow is going to bring. We see all the time, especially as nurses.
That seems to be happening more and more these days. They want decades of experience for entry level roles. The job market is so sad. Good for you for sticking to your guns about it though.
No they want your expertise just not willing to pay for it. Back then how much nurses you know who went to prison. Please check the new trend. Documentation falsification, stating they did care that they omitted. Charting in pending mode in the event something needs to be corrected.
TBH, I do not think I will get the opportunity to retire.

Same !!!

I’m with you ! God willing !!!
Experience cost money. Institutions no longer value experience. I have been around for quite some time myself. I’m still working but if you have stepped away from bedside for a while you will be shocked. It’s down right dark. The documentation looks great just don’t match the care.
I retired from my job and they asked me to stay on per diem. Now I fill holes in their schedule 1-2 times a month and also did 2 days a week for 3 months to cover for maternity leave.
Then I just started a jab one day a week, love it, I worked every Thursday and still pick up a shift with my old friends. Il will do it for as long as I can.
I totally get! You are not alone ! We were born care takers and it's what we love to do 🙏🏼🦋😇❤️✝️

Yes we are !
I never thought I would retire, but here I am, 31 years later, on the verge of retirement. I am pleased about it. Why? There are too many reasons to mention, but the primary reason is the need to accomplish more with fewer people, fewer resources, and no overtime, unless it is mandated.
Purpose is in the eye of the beholder. I am available to help my sons (by waiting for packages while they are working, puppy sitting, picking up things they need at the store, etc.), join civic groups, crochet blankets, and make quilted blankets, travel and learn.
You can work per diem when it’s convenient for you. My friend is retired and does that and she loves it. If she’s tired or wants to go somewhere she just doesn’t schedule herself
I had thought I would retire at 70 but circumstances (back injury/surgery/disability/failed surgery) had me disabled and effectively retired at 68. If I had reached 70 in a healthy state I’d probably still be working because I really enjoyed what I was doing, on call home care, 7 on and 7 off. I’m 71 now.
