You are a Godsend - what a super idea -- someone catering to those of us who have early retired but
don't really want to retire totally. Brilliant concept! I have recently retired from education after a
rewarding 36 years but I am, by no means, ready to stop working! I want to give back but I also want
to be paid for my knowledge & skills. I am passing your website on to all my colleagues who have
recently retired from education -- we are a growing number -- as you well know (& most of us are
under 60 & very much wanting to continue in the work force)! Thanks so much for providing us with
a resource to do just that. It is great to feel valued.
