[quote=Anonymous]I started my career working as a case manager at an elder care agency. Actually I guess I started earlier, during college, working as an elder companion. I provided respite care for care givers or just company for lonely or homebound elders (and did grocery shopping, mopped floors, found lost remote controls). Most of my coworkers were working on MSW degrees in the evenings. I eventually went on for a MPH and now work in a different area of public health. I was an English major with a community health certificate. Gerontology is generally a PhD level area of study, I think, and if your daughter is interested in practice I think other disciplines would be the more practical entry point.[/quote]
