Good on you! Do you have any in mind, or passing thoughts? The last bit is crucial in my experience. It's hard to give from a place without and avoid becoming resentful.So I'm thinking I should pick a career where I'm helping people, but I've also got to figure out how to appreciate myself for helping myself.
I'm working on narrowing it down. I would like nursing and a lot of the women in my family are nurses however it's got to the point where they even recommend I don't due to how nurses are treated these days. Overworked and underpaid like crazy. It used to be a good job but now it's just not worth it. Being a doctor might be enjoyable but I'm not sure I would enjoy being a general practioner and honestly it's a lot of school/training. The massage therapy thing was alright and I really enjoyed it when I was actually fixing something but I don't enjoy it as much when it's relaxation massage. I also don't think my body could handle it for very long. Currently I'm thinking midwife so I'll mull that over for a bit and see if I'm still feeling it in a week. I would love to study something and do research but I'm not sure I would enjoy that either. I have to move around a lot in a day, it's why I work in the restaurant industry currently.
I've heard nothing but the same about the medical field coming from both my brothers' (a healthcare analyst and EMR specialist) coworkers and the token family doctor. Needless to say, on this side of the border it's hilariously silly watching progress or lack thereof on the subject. Anywho, I was thinking about what you've written here and physical therapy[ist] came to mind.
