There is virtually no limit to how one can serve community interests, from spending a few hours a week with some charitable organization to practically fulltime work for a social agency. Just as there are opportunities for voluntary service 71 (VSO) for young people before they take up full-time employment, 72 there are opportunities for overseas service for 73 technicians in developing countries. Some people, 74 those who retire early, 75 their technical and business skills in countries 76 there is a special need.
So in considering voluntary or 77 community service there are more opportunities than there 78 were when one first began work. Most voluntary organizations have only a small fulltime 79 , and depend very much on volunteers and part-timers. This means that working relationships are different from those in commercial organizations, and values may be different. 80 some ways they may seem more casual and less efficient, but one should not 81 them by commercial criteria. The people who work with them do so for different reasons and with different 82 , both personal and 83 . One should not join them 84 to arm them with professional expertise; they must be joined with commitment to the 85 , not business efficiency. Because salaries are 86 or non-existent many voluntary bodies offer modest expenses. But many retired people take part in community service for 87 , simply because they enjoy the work.
Many community activities possible 88 retirement were also possible during one’s working life but they are to be undertaken 89 seriously for that. Retired people who are just looking for something different or unusual to do should not consider 90 community service.
