The person sitting in the most stressful job in the world is 72. The Senate majority leader is 77, the house majority leader is 78, Chuck Grassly is 80, one of the people seeking the most stressful job in the world is 76, the queen of England who still works every day is 92, Jeff Bezos is still running Amazon at 55, so definitely a full time job, Warren Buffet ceo of a Fortune 500 company is 87, Kevin Johnson (Starbucks) is 57, and on and on and on..That is so sad- I can't even imagine working a full time job at 55 never mind at 70.
Seems a whole ton of extremely successful people are still working full time jobs at 55 and over. In fact, the average age of a CEO of a fortune 500 company, so still working a full time job and more, is 55.
I can't imagine not working until I am not able to work. I am currently in my 60's and work full time because I want to not because I have to.
