These things are highly scenario-dependent. In some job situations
with a traditional defined-benefit pension scheme, it can indeed make
a huge difference to work just one additional year.

I think it's a good thing that most types of work have shifted
away from such a scenario, because it really does distort
decision-making for both employees and employers.
