Boomers in midlife continue to rewrite the script for how to live life to the fullest. As we live longer than previous generations, it probably comes as no surprise that the 78 million of us--nearly three million in the DC, Maryland and Virginia area alone!--are finding a whole host of new ways to do it.
On today's edition of The Heather Taylor Show, Boomer Radio in the Nation's Capital, we explore three ways Boomers are doing just that:
Back to School?
Once upon a time, if you were employed, but wanted to improve your job prospects by getting a degree, it meant carving out time--sometimes at night or at weekend classes--at a bricks and mortar institution. Not anymore. The rise of online colleges and universities has grown over the past several years, including Ivy League offerings. Join me in a conversation with Josh Fischman, Senior Editor for Science & Technology at The Chronicle of Higher Education (www.chronicle.com), as we discuss one of the newest trends in education: online courses.
Success in a Tough Market: Advice From a Pro at Work & in the Community
Scott Egloff has won top producer awards for sales during his successful 22 year career, many of those years as sales consultant for Sport Automotive, a General Motors company in Silver Spring, Maryland (www.sportautomotive.com). At the same time, he's remained very involved in the community, serving on the Board of Directors for the nonprofit group, Shepherd's Table. Join me as I interview him live in the studio about how he approaches his job selling cars in a tough economic market and the keys to maintaining life balance through voluntarism in the community.
DC Wine Bars: "A Capital Idea"
Wall Street Journal "Tastings" columnists Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher were already respected, veteran journalists back in 1998 when they were first asked to write a wine column in their "spare time." A decade later, their immensely popular column is one of the first pages to read in the newspaper. The two join me to talk about one of their recent columns, A Capital Idea, D.C.'s Wine Bars Catch Up With a National Trend Well Worth Following, and about what's new (or old) and exciting in the world of wine. (Rebroadcast from May 7, 2008)
