oh btw I am starting to formulate a plan for what I'm going to do after I retire. Yes, I am forming a 5 year plan. Starting with the class I am taking this summer toward a certificate program, which is what we had talked about. Then use that and find something part time in the new career field after I 'retire' from current company. If I last that long... 5 more years in corporate america i don't know if i'll be able to make myself stay that long. I figure I have to though at least until I can go on medicare.
