Thoughtprovoking.<br><br>My dad is about to retire in two months and he goes blasphemous thiking about his days after he retires, he has been counting days since the time he knew his retirement is closing in. He keeps asking me to find him a job, any job, need not pay him too much but something that keeps him occupied and not make him feel like a burden to the society. <br>I have inquired and there are places where they take retired people for employees, but with 1001 conditions and there are not a very huge number of places either. Alternatively, we can ask them to take classes in their area of expertise, do MLM - they meet a lot of people and they get to talk a lot - which comes as a habit after a point in time, when they realise communication is all it takes to be closer. They can also form hobby or interest groups or clubs with setting up libraries, teaching, touring, etc...that creates a sense of achievement as well as nurturing friendships that they have ignored for most of their lives - giving work priority. <br><br>These kind of associations can be created by entrepreneurs too, who are not highly money driven.<br><br>Just my tuppence.<br><br>DeeDeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03432051885796301204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4701998346296999235.post-14944669203163901752010-04-27T02:19:44.963-07:002010-04-27T02:19:44.963-07:00@vyasa: Nice to know about your initiative.
