Some say that because many people are living much longer, the age at which people retire from work should be raised considerably. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

could lead to some remarkable benefits,

however

network holding top positions for too long, which would discourage younger and potential employees to climb up their career ladder. Many entrepreneurs have revealed that one of the reasons they chose to start their own business despite of having experience working for prestigious companies simply is that it is impossible to thrive for top positions. Another issue is that when having to work at

such

, people would lose their enthusiasm towards their jobs, and no longer keeping their efficiency. After decades of working hard, most employees should spend their time taking rests, enjoying life and doing things that they have always wanted to do
