I am a retired school teacher. I like the idea of being able to stop employment completely. Are you retired?
No I'm just getting started on my work journey. I'm an education major!
Neat! Well retiremend is new! It was first introduced in Germany 1889.
That seems like a long time ago.  Why did they introduce retirement?
I think it is do to needing a break. Low life expectancy was higher and workers continued to work until death.
