Do something that fascinates you and that you're good at. I don't know
you, so I can't say what that is, but there will be something. It doesn't
have to be related to biogerontology - there's a lot about being human
and becoming transhuman apart from extending lifespan.
There are many alternate paths to serious research - lab tech, accountant,
sales, management, etc. Again, which is best for you I can't say. I have
a friend who does regulatory submissions for bone replacements, and
loves it.
