I have 3 good friends (my age or older) who really seem to love their work.
The first I have known all my life (also age 60). He started out in manufacturing and switched to farming many years ago.
He and his spouse also buy and sell on ebay which they
love and supposedly make a lot of money doing.
The second is about my age and worked many years as an attorney.
He quit practicing law about 15 years ago and now runs 3 small companies from his former law offices.
The 3rd is about 67, spent many years in manufacturing
and then went into real estate sales after he lost his job about 1990.
What these guys have in common is they all made a major career change in middle age, really love their work, and (as far as I can tell) have absolutely no
plans to retire. Or, if they do they have not shared them with me and I have asked. I am a bit envious. Not that I want to work again, but because they
found work they love to do.
I enjoyed a lot of my working life, but I never reached
their level of satisfaction. I am happy for them.
