For those of you at Kaiser, Mayo, universities, and government jobs, do you feel your pensions are safe for the long run. If you are in your early career, would you be betting on the financial stability of these organizations to fund you in your later years?
I served in the Air Force but didn't want to take the risk of decreased income now for the promise of a pension later, so I left before being pension eligible. Many reasons factored into my leaving but military pension for physicians is not great at all compared to the other orgs I listed above (even though I think the military pension would be the most safe in comparison to others).
Many pensions are at risk even with a rising stock market.
