But what if you would like to retire later—and choose to work more? That's a luxury for many that assumes that your health is decent and you don't need to take Social Security before age 66. But in recent years, the gap between high school and college-educated workers has widened. From 1976-79, for example, the average retirement age was 64 years for high school grads and almost 65 years for college graduates. By 2010 (through 2016), college grads retired around 66, while those with a high school diploma were retiring earlier than they did nearly four decades earlier—at age 63.
