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 （生育高峰） generation, a long life span means that the nation’s elderly population is sure to increase greatly 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 brings big problems 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 discrimination. Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.

Margarine 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.”

Any mistake, which is made in the printing of a stamp, raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on a two-penny stamp has made it worth a million and a half times its face value.

Do you think it possible? However, it is true.

The mistake was made more than 100 years ago in Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean, which was a British colony（殖民地）at that time. In 1847, an order (定单)for stamps was sent to London. Thus Mauritius became the fourth country in the world which had the stamps made in other countries.

Before the order was filled ,that is, the stamps arrived from England, a big dance party was planned by the commander-in-chief (总司令) of all the armed forces on the island. The party would be held in his house and letters of invitation would be sent to all the important people in Mauritius. So stamps were badly needed to post the letters. Therefore, an islander, who was a good printer, was told to copy the pattern of the stamps. He carelessly put the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid”, two words seen on the stamps at that time, on several hundred that he printed.

Today, there are only 26 of these misprinted stamps left: fourteen One-penny Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues. Because of so few Two-penny Blues and because of their age, collectors have paid as much as $16,800 for each of them.
