For an increasing number of students at American universities, old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom generation, a longer life span means that the nation’ s elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions and in law and business as well. " In addition to the doctors, we’ re going to need more sociologists , biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers," says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’ s (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学).
Lawyers can specialize in " elder law" , which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination5 (歧视).
Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history.
"Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money," one professor says.
Margarita Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was "really bored with bacteria". So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, "I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying."
Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage?
选项
A、Retirees who are business-minded.
B、The volunteer workers in retirement homes.
C、College graduates with an MBA or law degree.
D、Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology.
答案
D
解析
从文章第二段最后一句:“Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with,say,an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money."可知,获得MBA或律师学位的优秀的专业人士,再与老年学知识相结合,将会赚取更多的钱。所以正确答案为D。
