In Georgia, teachers retire when they are 55 years old with almost 90% of their salary. That blisters me. They should have to work until they are 65. Can you imagine the reduction in our teachers' costs?
Actually, it's 30 years service or age 60, whichever comes first. Given my most recent retirement statement, you're mistaken about that "almost 90% of salary" however.
But hey, you think it's a good deal? Georgia has Fast Track, if you have at least a bachelor's degree. Become a teacher, and you too can "retire at 55"....
