About the Careers in Aging Project
The booklet summarized on this section of the AGHE website, Careers in Aging: Consider the Possibilities, was written primarily for high school and college students. It is one of two that have been published as a result of AGHE's Careers in Aging Project. The longer, more detailed booklet--Careers in Aging: Opportunities and Options--is designed for upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and adults considering a change in careers, and is also available from AGHE. This booklet replaces So You Want to Be a Gerontologist, published by AARP and the American Society on Aging in 1983. In 2012 the brochure was revised and is now a free resource to download.
