I was looking for a little advice. I have an MA in Gerontology ('10). I was always told that it is a booming field and there will be a lot of opportunities. As I am looking for jobs, I noticed that most of the jobs I'm interested in want an MSW, LCSW, or even RN. I know that a Gerontology degree is a great thing to have, and I know the field will explode in a few years. The problem is....is an MA in Gerontology enough?? I am willing to go back to school, so I would like some advice on what other degree would compliment my MA.
I hear all the time that we need more PA, MSW, Nurses, MD that specializes in Geriatrics.
I have worked in the healthcare field and I really enjoyed it. I really like the idea of being a Geriatric PA or even being a LCSW. Either one of them would be excellent.
I just want to be more marketable because I know that our society will need more people that specialize in Gerontology. Will my MA be enough in the next 5-10 years?
