I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again.

YOU WILL NEVER RETIRE

At 32 you still have another forty (40) fucking years of career ahead of you. The thing about engineering is you are going to do it till you get dementia or die. After 20 years, if you are any damn good at your job, you’re going to have a network of people and some buddy of yours is going to pop out of the wood work and offer you a ludicrous amount of money for doing maaaaybe 20 hours of work a week. The benefit/effort ratio will be so heavily skewed in your favor you can’t turn it down.
