I have always thought of my pension as deferred compensation, since I worked in the public sector for less than I could have earned in the private sector. I feel no guilt about my pension, because I worked in an income-generating office where my personal projects brought between $80,000 and $100,000 per year.
Because of a disability, I had to take an early retirement. Thanks to my pension and the so-called entitlement program of Social Security, I am able to live frugally and expect to die long before I become a burden on society.
Remember, folks: If you’re judging, you don’t have all the facts.
Nicole Costanzo is the recipient of this year’s Robert Poulin Award, presented to a full-time Lakehead University student for their outstanding citizenship.
Nicole, who will graduate this year with an Honours Bachelor of Science, made many contributions during her time at Lakehead – to the university and to Thunder Bay. During much of her time at Lakehead University, Nicole was an instructor with Superior Science.
“Working with Superior Science has been an amazing experience,” she said.
“It taught me how to effectively work with a team to highlight each other’s strengths and work towards a common goal. The best part was being able to inspire local youth and introduce them to different fields of science in a hands-on way that they can’t get in a normal classroom.”
