As a retired person, I see plenty of stories about people who kept working until well after the usual retirement age, and the impression is given that this makes them some kind of hero. BS.
With all the jobs going overseas or to machines/robots, the last thing we need is people working who don't need to.
Statistics show that we have a large number of 25-34 year olds who are unemployed. THIS is who should be working. Those who are older, unless they have to work, should not. If they really need to get out of the house every day, there are plenty of volunteer opportunities, not just calling, but screaming.
In addition, we as a society need to think about what we are going to do with all our 'workers' in the future, as the trend to self-service and automation continues.
Everyone has to make a living - how will we do it?
