Why not just have a fluid work/retirement cycle? Work for a few years, take a year or two off, switch industries, etc. We would need stricter capitalism I think. Immortals would be even more self-absorbed, and lack the motivating aspects of mortality. I personally would be content to throw away a few decades doing drugs and playing video games if I had unlimited time.
