Abstract

Objectives This study is to understand what the personal and professional life course of education administrative officials who retired after working for decades in an organization called school, how those life course affect life after retirement, and how they prepare for life after retirement. Through this, the purpose is to provide an opportunity to recognize educational administrative officials as partners to achieve educational purposes, and to obtain theoretical and practical implications for our lives living in the age of 100.
 Methods To this end, a life history research method was used. The life history research method is a good research method to understand the life transition and adaptation course in the continuity of time by examining the internal dynamics and life changes in an individual's life course on the axis of time of the past, present, and future. In this study, we listened to Administration manager Kim's oral speech, who retired on June 30, 2019, and interpreted the meaning of specific experiences, events, and adaptations by connecting his life experiences in the course of life with socio-cultural and historical contexts.
 Results Administration manager Kim has lived his whole life to keep his promises to his mother and wife, and since he faithfully fulfilled his personal and professional life, he has no regrets in his life, and is very grateful that he can receive a pension, although he has left office without receiving a retirement medal due to unexpected events. Kim wants to return to the “Mountain with Ancestors' Tomb” and grow trees and live a free life like “Wandering Clouds and Wild Cranes,” but his lack of prior knowledge, declining body, and bad news of “COVID-19” forced him to put his dream on hold. He is living his second life by finding a job for the elderly as a way to spend a long time without being bored.
 Conclusions In order for a life after retirement to be satisfactory life, you must first have a healthy body, find yourself a work that will not tire you out no matter how hard you work, and the organization needs to open up a yard that collects various careers after retirement so that those who are scheduled to retire can find the work.
