    Such a utterly stupid idea. The opposite would make much more sense. Young people should not work at all and concentrate on their young children, educate them, spend time with them, etc. so that they can grow up into valuable citizens. Old people on the other hand should work until they drop dead.

        “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”

        I could get behind that.

          If you are unhappy while working, you probably are either working the wrong job or need more free time, maybe both.

          I mean, my mother enjoyed her days working as a kindergarden teacher. And it’s not always sun and peaches, but I quite enjoy my work as a programmer to overall.

          I think this might be a you-problem. Maybe you’ll find a job that suits you one day.

              Is that due to not liking teaching? Or because lawmakers and administration have made the job far more frustrating and difficult than it needs to be among other external factors?
