Yeah. I'm not in Social Security, but there's a reason that cops and firemen retire relatively young. At 50, just keeping up with the training takes a toll on my body now.

Well, thanks for what you do.
This should be obvious for most... our bodies break down in labor intensive jobs. I can't see how most go beyond their 30-40's in those jobs... such as foundries, construction and emergency services. Additionally, there are only so many positions those individuals can be promoted to.
But even beyond that, I've found, for many of us, our mental capacity is affected as we age. I already see impacts in my life and just turned 60. And senior employees tend to be better compensated than younger. So there is incentive to phase them out. I'm grateful to good health and an outstanding employer but I will age out in the next few years, whether I want to or not.
