How do you feel about work?

I thought you would be interested in a recent report in HR Magazine - based on research carried out by YouGov research. Commissioned by Standard Life, 2100 workers were interviewed in the UK. Their research indicated that:

31 is the average age that works say they feel most ambitious.
37 is the average age that most workers say they feel confident about their skills at work.
Average fulfilment at work comes at the age of 50.
85% of workers do not intend to stop working once they reach retirement age - 33% want to stay on in full time work and 8% would like to start their own business.

Commenting on the findings, John Lawson from Standard Life said “Quite simply, people do not get old like they used to. The baby boomers started a trend for redefining what is effectively their ‘third age’ and these findings point to a continued trend for re-writing the rule book for younger generations.”

What do you think?
