Michael Schrage, writing on Harvard Business Review,
has a message for you: You
probably won’t be retiring at age 65. You can read the piece to

“Based on your current skill set and competences, what do you think your workday will look like when you’re 70? Are you comfortable with the probability that you will be managing employees younger than your grandchildren? Temperamentally, do you think you’ll add more value as a mentor, a partner, or part-timer? More important, what will your (much) younger boss think?”
