[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny part is I think 100 percent of people 60-65 are healthy in high paying jobs. Which is true for all the people 60-65 I interact with regularly.

Why is that?

In business you only interact with people still working at your level or higher. When people are laid off, get sick, die etc. they just disapear.

The fact is the working people 60-65 often just picked majors at 18 that are still relevant, companies still in business, got lucky with health and had good bosses and companies that invest in employees.

Which is why the ones remaining have very little good advice.

Nearly 90 percent of people I started work with are now retired, dead or laid off. None of them retired early. Why, well I was very lucky and in an amazing Mgt Training Program at a top tier company in NYC in 1986. That is 40 years ago. Meaning oddly we started on fast track with great jobs, staff etc at a young age. Type of career you dont give up. But sadly layoffs, illness and death took a toll over 40 years.

Everyday above ground is a good day.

The ones you don’t see didn’t disappear… they are playing golf, doing yoga, hiking, traveling.

Of course you don’t see them, you are stuck in an office.[/quote]
