I moved up. Now in the end game of my computer career nobody can afford to retire, everyone, including me, is holding onto their job with both claws. As a result our office is greying, no young people are coming in. When I first started working, people looked forward to retirement at 65, joked about golf, and dropped out like clockwork.

The first would fund education, or launch someone in a trade; the second would provide for a decent retirement for those who reached that age. Both would be funded by a tax on the unimproved value of land, payable when the land changed hands by inheritance or sale.
