Re: What was your profession prior to retirement? This is really interesting.
Both working part time. Me, as a data analyst/statistician/grant writer, in a university research center, my husband as a physician. We are both lucky because I can take my computer with me and crunch numbers and write proposals anywhere, and my husband because the county is so anxious to keep him from retiring completely that they are willing to let him have a month off at a time. Works out just fine.
In our former lives I was an Army nurse (Brooke Army Medical Center, Ft. Sam Houston, TX) and he was an Army doc (Brooke, Walter Reed, Madigan).

My husband retired from Denistry five years ago and then had the great fortune of having the position of a Sea Dentist ~~~~~ we traveled on cruises with Holland America for about five years. Great time!! Hubby still works when our two Dentist sons need the extra hands. |
