I never worked a day in my life. Work to me is unwanted activity. You guys are talking about something that doesn't exist. We move from one stage to another stage of our lives after a series of employments. The alternative is following a woman around the house telling her what to do---after her lifetime of raising a family, cleaning our shirts and shoving us out the door. My guess is we fill out our lives with more than hunting and fishing: family, hobbies, community activities, volunteerism. There's more picking and choosing. (There's the rare exception of those who live such miserable lives they've always got to be picking on someone!)
