As more and more boomers are heading for retirement many are not liking the idea of “rest and relaxation” and are planning to continue working. Maybe not in the same job, many are looking for a new career, maybe part time, to enjoy their “retirmement.” In fact, 75% of boomers say they want to keep working, and more than half want to start a new career, says Ken Dychtwald, Age Power: How the 21st Century Will Be Ruled by the New Old. (Tarcher/Putnam, From $6.89 on Amazon)
