I have worked for the same government agency since May 9, 1977. They just gave me a watch for my 30 year anniversary. I am 53. I could retire at 55. (I work for an independent agency in the executive branch. Jimmy Carter was President when I started. I am not sure who the top guy is now.)
I've been self-employed this time for almost six years.
8 years with one, 1 year with the other.
