I read a really interesting article in the Times yesterday. It was based on some analysis by the Pension Capital Strategies which says that people working in the financial services or aerospace and defence industries will live for more than 26 years after reaching the age of 60, whilst those in the construction and materials and the tobacco industry will live around 5 years less.

So should we think about certain careers and the impact they may have on our lives?  I’m still not certain you can say one is cause and effect though, I’m sure many people who have carrers  in the tobacco industry will smoke and construction is quite a physical job.

Still, an interesting piece of information to ponder on as we think about career choice.
