At the same time, it's the type of work. There aren't nearly as many jobs here that require high levels of physical exertion. It makes sense for a lumberjack to retire early, but a lot of jobs here both require a lot of training and, at the same time, have limited demands. If you have a job that requires a doctorate, you enter your field at around 30, while a blue collar job you can enter around 18.
