Careers Working with Aged People

The study of the biological, psychological, and sociological aspects of aging is called gerontology. Doctors who treat older people are called geriatricians. However both these are not sufficient to provide support to the growing number of older people in our society. If you think that working with older people is for you, check out this list of unusual careers. There’s something here for all levels of education and for people with varied interests.

The obvious careers that come to mind are those where medicine & nursing are specialized for older people. But there are many more requirements in other fields where one can specialize in providing services to the elderly.
