Depends on the individual and the work. I can cite one case that's
probably *extremely* out of the ordinary where a 70-year-old, laid off
and eligible for a pension, took the pension and spent the next 10
months trying to find *another* job in his field, and didn't admit he
was probably never going to have such a job again until near the end of
those 10 months. (And it's not as if he couldn't have afforded to
retire 10 years earlier.)
