I am a Professor Emeritus since 2007. Great job if you can get it. I still do teaching and research, for which I am paid adequately. I have colleagues and students. I love my courses. I work about 1/3 time. My department was able to hire a very fine full time faculty member into my "slot", so they are appreciative.
My question is whether any other occupations provide this quite pleasant transition? Even universities in Europe are much more brutal towards their retiring faculty.
I am trying to improve the utilization of emeriti and would be happy to adopt ideas from other areas.
