Airline pilots have mandatory retirement at age 60. As for medical professionals, I agree. Maybe 65 isn't a bad age to retire. As a nurse, slightly older than that I have to say the job is becoming physically more demanding. Cognitive stuff is still very good, but I'm beat by end of a shift and I work eight hour shifts. I know for sure I couldn't work for twelve hours and still be very effective.
