As a DC resident and member of the non-profit world, I would also like to point out the range of opportunities available for boomers in the non-profit space. Increasingly, non-profits are facing pressure from donors to operate more like a private sector, but often cannot pay competitive salaries to lure the best private sector talent. But if boomers are separating from their private sector careers and looking to do more than golf and play bridge, perhaps they'd be willing to take a less well-paying job to work in the "doing good" sector. I am seeing this first-hand - my organization has recently filled a few positions with private sector refugees who are looking to put their valuable experiences in the business world to good use. Keep em coming, I say! (as long as they don't take my job, of course) Very interesting stuff.
