The job often occupies a central place in the lives of individuals. This becomes even more evident in professions that play an important social role and require great creative potential and aptitude, as is the case with teaching professionals. In this context, the process of transition to retirement can be quite challenging due to the large number of changes that occur in the routine of workers and the stigmas that accompany the condition of being retired. Many studies have sought to assess the impact of retirement on the lives of individuals and some factors that have been identified as most important in post-career life are: financial aspects, changes in routine, changes in the pattern of time occupation and others. To mitigate the negative effects of this transition, some companies and institutions have used retirement preparation programs (RPPs) to help their employees prepare for this phase and feel less of the negative effects of post-career life. In this sense, the objective of this work was to verify the view of retired higher education teachers on post-career life. To meet this objective, seven retired teachers from a private higher education institution in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, were interviewed. The results of this study showed a very varied view on the part of the teachers interviewed regarding the impacts and changes brought about by retirement. As positive aspects, the responses showed a great appreciation for the greater availability of time to enjoy with family and leisure in retirement. On the other hand, an important negative aspect highlighted by the interviewees was the negative impact on financial life found in post-career life.
