While many older workers contemplate retirement, many may also wish to continue working in a part-time capacity. Since they can be a tremendous resource for engineering organizations, experienced retirees can be enabled to work on-call, consult hourly, or even work a limited number of hours per week or per month, benefiting both the firm and the older worker.

An employee who invests her lump-sum distribution when she retires receives the rewards and bears the risks of investment. Making appropriate investments allows her to increase her capital faster than inflation shrinks it. As we saw, other deflned-benefit pensions make none but ad hoc adjustments for inflation, and retired employees do not choose the investments that underlie their pensions. With these annuity-based, guaranteed plans in which employers determine investments, retired persons cannot outlive their benefits. However, exhausting or losing one s capital is possible in cash-balance plans, after the lump-sum payment is received at retirement. 

Often anecdotal evidence is received by a state s environmental office. Nevertheless, the military will not normally accept the statements of a retired employee or resident that an event requiring remediation occurred years ago. This is a good place to use archival research. For example, in February 1993 a phone call was made by a Mr. Ian MacFee to the District of Columbia alleging that the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) buried French 75-mm mustard gas shells in 14 pits in the District of Columbia. The caller stated that he worked for a Ft. Wray Noel.

Well, the days of gold watches are gone. These days, employees need to look out for themselves, while employers are constantly looking at the bottom line and consider new employees a financial investment and an impersonal commodity. Thus, during your career, you will probably change jobs and employers multiple times.
