I «» W . « m-t a U| , Senior Hot Line (Written under the Auspices of Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal) ' Q. I am now approaching an age when I can retire from active work. My rocker is positioned in front of the television set so I can at last sit d6wn and relax and enjoy my much earned rest. Isn't that going to be great! . .A * o. What you describe as retirement is a wait for death. People should not retire with the idea that everything is going to take care of itself. There are choices to be made and things that need planning. Actually, you should have started planning much earlier. Organizing your life goals, and financial planning or estate planning should start when one is in one's twenties. Deciding on your life style and what your financial needs will be to maintain that standard should start early so that you do not find yourself in a dilemma when you approach retirement. You also need to plan for your interests and outside activities. Q. If I retire at an early age, can I go back to college and learn another trade? A. Yes. Community colleges now have a greater enrollment in the age group of 45 to 65 years. A Recent study shows that more than l4 of adults in the United States are interested in further education. Technology is retiring workers at a higher rate than ever before. Thus, Americans have more leisure, more years of retirement and as technology displaces millions of workers, American education must prepare our people, not for one but several jobs in their lifetime. Consider that many of us will live far longer than our forebearers. In 1900, the ex­ pected life span for a man was 48 years. For a woman, it was 57 years. Today, those life spans have increased to 69 and 76 years respectively, and there are now 23 million people in America over the age of 65. By the year 2000, there will be nearly 31 million. Consider the decrease in the amount of time we spend working. In 1900, the average United States work week was 62 hours. Now, it is only 37'/2, and, the four and three day work week appears to be here to stay. A new PRffiTSfTfl Auto values philosophy of education should be one in which learning takes place not at one time, but over a lifetime on a full time or part time basis. Of course, such a policy must encompass full and equal educational opportunities for adults. To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw, "educational opportunity is too good to waste only on children."
