| Nov 5, 2017 at 20:54 | comment | added | Bernhard Barker | "the following answers are unlikely to fly well in the majority of scenarios ... I'm looking at retirement in the next 3-4 years" - that seems to tell you everything you need to know (or at least that addresses everything that's different between this question and the linked one in sufficient detail). If they ask that question, they're likely looking for someone who will (ideally) stay at least that long. | |

| Jun 3, 2015 at 0:17 | comment | added | jamesqf | @dirkk: Retirement age, in the sense of actual retirement rather than being of an age to collect Social Security benefits, is very much a personal choice. As for instance my neighbor, who worked as a mining consultant (on-site!) well into his late '90s. For myself, I enjoy the work I do, so why would I want to 'retire' and drink myself to death in front of the TV, like another neighbor? | |

| Jun 2, 2015 at 15:40 | comment | added | Vietnhi Phuvan | The answer depends upon whether you're planning to retire or you'll work till you drop. I see myself in an ash urn at the bottom of New York Harbor, I don't see myself retiring. | |

| Jun 2, 2015 at 15:21 | comment | added | user8036 | Besides, I 'read' a lot of other issues/doubts (also in your previous edits), like I am afraid of not finding a good job because of my age. Is this really a question about people asking you What will you be doing in 5 or 10 years? or are you unsure about what you will be doing in 5 or 10 years? | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 15:19 | comment | added | dirkk | You are 67 and are "nearing retirement age"? What country is this, just so we can avoid it as the retirement age is actually lower than this in every country I know... | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 15:18 | comment | added | user8036 | So, what are your plans? Surely you know that if you apply for a job, how long you intend to stay? More than 5 years? We need that info to be able to answer, so please edit your question and tell us your plans. | |
