Career anchors is a term made familiar by Schein. It is said that " A “Career Anchor” is a combination of perceived areas of competence, motives, and values relating to professional work choices. ". I am just assuming that people pursue the same career anchors during retirement just as they did during paid employment. But is that true? Past careers are destinies? Or do some people change tracks more probably than others? For example: Do pediatricians just dont want to know about children and children´s illnesses after retirement but lawyers will never stop arguing if there is something to be gained? [questions have no basis. They are just random questions]. Please contribute. If any data or paper, will be highly appreciated.
People are changing jobs more often than in the past. One article I read suggested people change jobs 10 to 15 times during their working years. See below:

Another study looked at the relationship between a person's work satisfaction and their attitude about retirement.
