I desperately need career advice, please! I currently have a B.S. in Psychology. I would like to get Master's degree someday, but probably not a Ph.D. I would like to have a job where I can help people and "make a difference", but I'm a bit squeamish and don't really like the idea of seeing blood, vomit, etc. while on the job. Money isn't the most important factor for me, but I would like a job where I can make at least a decent living. Some careers I've considered before include:
1) Speech-language pathologist
2) ESOL, Special Ed, or preschool teacher
3) Occupational therapist
4) Mental health, career, or school counselor
5) School psychologist
6) Industrial/organizational psychologist
7) Environmental scientist
8) Sonographer/ultrasound technician
9) Baby or women's health nurse (maybe...)
Does anyone have any opinions on the above careers? Or, does anyone have any other suggestions for careers? Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!

Working in a carefully similar discipline, I'd must say your loss of curiosity in running with animals will make matters extra complex - mice are generally used as transgenics as a result of their capability to reproduce very swiftly. However, this isn't just about the one street to pursue. Many discoveries of the day are performed in micro organism or harvested cellphone traces (those cellphone traces most of the time come from and animal or every other dwelling organism, so you could have an problem with this additionally). In any occasion, there may be definitely study you'll be able to paintings on that's unrelated to animals. Keep in brain that the genetic code is encrypted into all cells of all species of all organisms. So whatever that's dwelling (micro organism, microbe, virus, animal) can also be experimented on in a genetic degree.

Ive dealt with occupational therapists and they seem to love their job. Very rewarding they say with a little stress when a patient isn't responding well to therapy.
Sonograph technicians: overall seem to really enjoy their job as well.
When you start entering the psychologist fields(school, industrial etc.) Ive heard mixed reviews. Stressful and rewarding all depending on how well you can emotionally separate yourself from others problems yet still be capable of doing your job.
Baby or women's health nurse: have to deal with bodily fluids at times that you (by the description) may not like. However Ive heard its rewarding especially those women dealing with babies.
speech language pathologist: Ive yet to meet any
Special Ed: those Ive met absolutely loved it but also felt completely overwhelmed at times.
Environmental scientist: havent met any but sounds like an excellent job LOL
hope this helps some.

How about a workshop for disabled adults? My son lives with 4 other autistic men and their housedad, and there's a workshop where they build birdhouses to sell on their own website. Now that my son has been there for 3 years, I'm allowed to volunteer once a week to work with the men. It's amazing, the guys never fail to cheer me up. There are 2 full time paid staff and 2 part time paid and they're all very happy to be there. Nobody's getting rich, but they're all having fun. In this particular group, there's no personal care. One of them is incontinent but he manages his own cleanup.

Since you have a medical background, you might also want to consider Hospice of Home Health. If you are a people person these career fields require it. Also consider an opportunity to instruct or teach future medical personnel.
