[Star Wars] What do Stormtroopers do when they retire?

Do they live off a pension? Do they get office jobs?  Surely some of them become high ranking officers, but what about the average Joe that reaches the age where he needs to hang up the blaster?

One thing a lot of people don't realize about the military: The higher up you go, the more paperwork you end up doing. Even your average Joe would end up assuming more strategic/logistic work than waving droids through checkpoints.

That said, the Imperial military gets very plush retirement benefits. If you feel the need to get another job, you likely have an 'in' anywhere in the galaxy that respects the helmet. You're more likely to just end up being able to buy a house with a nice view and go fishing every day, however.
