| Sumario: | This article highlights the matter of successful old age as developed in the research “Retirement and successful old age: a case study with college professors’ from Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais”. The comprehension of how college professors with over 60 years of age perceive the idea of healthy old age has been pursued through a case study – using a questionnaire and statistical analysis with SPSS – which aimed at revealing the imaginary of 40 professors on the issues of old age, work and retirement. As a conclusion, we noticed that they consider the psychic capacity to deal with new situations the main element in the achievement of a successful old age, followed by the engagement in various activities. |
