Is Aging the Field for You?


To begin to find the answer to this question, ask yourself if you are interested in improving the lives of older people. Are you interested in knowing more about your own aging and the changes to expect in your family members as they grow older? Talk with professionals and students in the field. Discuss your future plans with your academic advisor.

Whether or not you choose a career in aging, the knowledge you have gained will serve you well as a decision-maker, service provider, planner, business person, consumer, family member, and informed citizen.

Our society's success in responding to the opportunities and challenges presented by an aging population and the interests and needs of older persons will, in large part, depend on the dedication of those who choose to work in the field of aging. We hope that you will join us!
