To the Editor:
I am writing to respond to a letter written by James Spickard (“Why Retire When We Can Still Be Productive?” 8/31). First, the writer urges people to keep working, not retire, because he believes they will be happier working. This may be true in some instances, but many people are working to make a living and are not necessarily enjoying their work.
Personally, I have enjoyed working some jobs, but others were not enjoyable.
