Regarding recent discussion by Ray Kogan, AIA, about Baby Boomers: Because of the lack of any real pension system, very few architects and engineers have the wherewithal to stop working in their late fifties or early sixties. Add the social pleasures of work and the comparative boredom of retirement and many work well into their seventies. I see it in my own office, and tn other large firms. There is more pressure on the commuters to leave because of the horrors of that daily trip, but most of us in [cities] will continue to work as long as we can, albeit with reduced hours. One cannot supervise, manage, or really design part-time, but reviewing, spec writing, and code work and other parts of the field are accessible. Having older staff in a review role is valuable-a good way of transferring expertise.
