☆ 'Retirement isn't that easy': 3 people on working into their 90s and 100s

Jayne Burns, Bob Rohloff and Melba Mebane are part of a fast-growing share of the workforce: Americans working past 75. Many Americans are working into their 70s and 80s — or longer — because of longer life spans, changing attitudes about retirement and insufficient savings. Mebane began working as an "elevator girl" at the Mayer & Schmidt department store in 1949 when she was just 17 years old, through a work-study program at Tyler High School. During her tenure at Dillard's, Mebane had several opportunities to become a manager, but she always turned the offers down. Those friendships, Mebane says, made working at Dillard's "the best job I ever had."

Oscietra caviar is the most popular product sold by King's Fine Food. Laura King (left), founder of King's Fine Food, with her daughter Holly King, the company's sales director.

☆ This 90-year-old woman had the same job for 74 years—her best advice for being happier at work

She retired from her job as a sales associate at Dillard's last month, leaving behind a career that spanned more than seven decades. How her job became her 'second life'For Mebane, her job at Dillard's has always been "more than a paycheck." As a single, working mom, it became a "second life," for her and her son Terry Mebane, he says. "I loved going to work every day," says Mebane, who adds that she never missed a day of work, unless she was really sick. Her best advice for finding a long, fulfilling career is not to take a job simply because it pays well, because "money can disappoint you," Mebane warns.
