Well, for the past two months or so I've been daydreaming about getting let go from my job so I could have an excuse to go to the local food pantry and help out three or four days out of the week. So there's a big clue right there.

I'd love a job where I can do something with my hands, like locksmith, arborist, plumber, etc. but unfortunately I can't do heavy lifting for medical reasons, so as much as I really wish and day dream about it, it's not gonna happen.

Honestly? It's not even about the money. I just want a job that's A) satisfying, B) productive to society, and C) at a place where I don't get treated like crap. Better pay would be nice. Some social prestige would be welcome. But those are secondary desires.

You get to tinker with stuff as a dental hygienist (teeth) without heavy lifting and that's a skill you could use to help people who don't have access to dental care if you get set up with the right people. I looked into that at one point and I'm pretty sure it's a community college degree.
