I once read an article about Karl Lagerfeld and how he refused to retire. At the time I thought “this guy is nuts, thats what companies want you to think!”. I always saw a career as something to do after giving up on your dreams, something that paid the bills. But who says your career has to be that? This was a man who was successful in all forms, highly respected by his peers, with a salary of a Bond film villain. Surely his job was done but why couldn’t he retire? Does our skillset become a badge of immortality so long as we maintain our titles?
Thank You Lagerfeld.
