Not Quite as “Easy as Sunday Morning” –

PREPARING FOR

A TRANSITION FROM PRIVATE INDUSTRY

PUBLIC SERVICE TO

In 2002, just two years from FBI retirement eligibility, and a Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS) retiree not by choice, I realized I would need to continue employment be- yond retirement with two daughters’ college bound. My two year path to prepare for a career in private industry was a sound plan, but as I look back I was woefully unprepared – I got lucky.
