...after the war we got married and raised two kids, and when the kids were school age I returned to work at the hospital. By the time I turned 65 I had been working for decades, and I was trying to decide whether to retire, or continue working. Retirement was tempting and I could afford it,, but I enjoyed my career, and was tempted to continue it.
The hospital administration helped me decide. It was perfectly obvious that they wanted the older, higher paid people out, and young less expensive ones in. So I retired, and have never regretted it, although I sometimes think I could have been happy working much longer. With people living longer, we'll have to start letting people work as long as they want, instead of forcing them to retire.
