This qualitative study explored Korean baby boomer retirees' bridge employment experiences in community service jobs. The study utilized in-depth, face-to-face interviews with twelve baby boomers who participated in these jobs. The following themes emerged: (a) getting prepared by learning and volunteering; (b) satisfied with work but underpaid; (c) dissatisfied with jobs that are short-term and lack continuity; (d) regardless, it's good to have a place to go out and work; (e) rewarding and beneficial for life; (f) forming a group with common interests and helping each other for self-development; (g) job development needed according to baby boomers' desires and professional competence; and (h) better than nothing, but it should be a bridge job to another stable, regular job. The study proposes future directions to improve policy supporting retiring older populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
