Can I work as a lecturer in uni if I'm 60 years old?

I am not sure about university, but some of my lecturers in poly are somewhat about your age and it's quite exhausting due to the amount of meetings you have to attend while having to teach classes consecutively. He's also going to retire and switch to becoming a part time lecturer so you can look into that

Why not?

Sorry, don't mean to be rude. If you are retiring, why are you still loooking for another job? If just to spend time, I agree on the part-time route. Less stressful for you too.

Keen to hear your thoughts & plan regarding "life after retirement"! Because I'm only envisioning me spending time on personal things (holidaying, joining interest groups, caring for grandkids). I hope I'm not too optimisitic on my retirement in 15 years' time!

You can try polytechnic lecturer. Then again, being 60 years old, it may be a bit hard to start teaching as a new career because teaching is quite physically and mentally exhausting.

Many uni lecturers are expected to have publications and all, so it may be harder to get in.
