Book excerpt: This study examined the relationship between continuing education and quality of life of retirees in Pocatello-Chubbuck, Idaho. A convenience sample of 150 retired men and women age 65 or older was recruited to take part in the study. This study concluded that there were significant differences in quality of life (QOL) based on age; however, gender, educational level, and previous occupational differences were not significant. In addition, as to continuing education, there were significant differences based on age, educational level, and previous occupation. Gender difference was not significant. Subjects preferred informal continuing education more than formal. Formal continuing education did not significantly relate to QOL, but some types of informal continuing education and content areas of continuing education did. Some recommendations for educators, administrators at senior living facilities, and researchers are offered.
