If you're talking about going PT in an hourly wage job, I suppose that could work if you did something you like, perhaps in a book store or hobby shop or something that matches your interests, but for the most part I'd rather milk a higher paying job as long as I could and then ER, than take a huge pay cut (considerably less $/hour) for PT hours.
No. I'd rather go PT in my current industry and/or job. There are plenty of people I know doing 30-32hr schedules. I'd be pretty happy if my "downshift" was 20-24hrs, and I think I could swing that at my current company.
