It may interest you to know what I am actually in grad school for. I am studying aging. I am researching dementia, biological aging, socio-economic aging, basically the entire spectrum of aging from the Baby Boomer cohort to the oldest old cohorts of 85+! Very new field that will ensure stable work for a long time. FYI... our society is 'graying'. Deaths are not being equally replenished with births, people are living longer, an our support ratio for SS is dwindling. So, this is what my passion is. Helping advocate for older adults. Helping them age with dignity, respect, autonomy and pride.
