There is an inadequate proportion of students enrolling in science-related majors in many nations. The reasons are due to the fact that there have been limited guidance and career aspirations for youths, and many tend not to perform well in subjects, such as maths, physics, and chemistry. Once this issue is left unsolved, it will impede the overall development of the society.

They believe that a certain workders deserve to retire and receive a pension at an earlier age. Do you agree or disagree? Which type of workers do you think should benefit from early retirement?
It is thought by certain people that having the same retirement's age for everybody without considering what their occupation is seems to be unfair. Some jobs deserve to retire and have a pension at an earlier age. I agree with this statement. And, in my opinion, physicians and constructors should be those who retire before others.
