Baby Boomers and Retirement Age.

The first of the Baby Boomers, my generation, are beginning to turn 65 in 2011. Among the early ones, Chief Judge Donetta Ambrose of the US District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, elected Senior Judge status on her 65th birthday this past November. Being a Senior Judge is not exactly retirement — its probably better. Someone else must squeeze an administrative load into a busy trial schedule. The stress level drops like a rock. Meanwhile, the judicial system and the country are big winners. All of that experience and knowledge is a valuable resource — too valuable to waste. And as more BB’ers pass the retirement threshold, this should be a model for post-retirement employment of seniors in every field.
