What would be a good career option?

[Anonymous]

For me personally, I been interested in careers such as working in a medical office, or a clinical medical assistant, cosmetology, and or massage therapy. The only thing wrong with that is im not good with communication, like trying to explain things that people will understand. I get queazy when I see something medically horrible and I don't like to work with blood, needles or specimens. I'm not excellent with attention to detail.

Cosmetology I went to school for but it wasn't my passion but I liked doing the basics. I was good at it but i didn't eat, sleep, breathe like most people say. if I decided to go back I have to pay 20,000 for beauty school. I could work in a shop as a intern I'd have to find the right salon to do that.

With the medical field I was helping my grandma with her medical things, everytime I went to her doctors I could give you all her meds names everyone that changed, the dosage and her doctors were impressed by that although sometimes it was hectic and a lot to remember I did. On several occasions her doctor would say have you ever looked into doing nursing i told her I have before and I referenced why I was unsure of being one from what I stated earlier. Then she said there are careers in nursing that don't involve blood or gore. With most classes you have to practice it. I appreciated her telling me what potential I had but, then I thought my grandmother was only one person could I take on hundreds of different people a day.

Nursing homes hire LPNs/LVNs and they basically give meds (it could include an insulin shot). They apply dressings as needed, but there isn't much "gore" like a hospital setting. The CNAs do all the toileting and the majority of interacting.

Thank you, for your feedback. I will look into that I never thought about being a LVN.
You never know what you are capable of doing unless you try it out

Prosthodontics is good but you have to study at least for a bachelor 3-4 years.

Thank you, I will look into it.

There are a lot of things you can do in the medical field that will not involve needles or gore. A medical technologist does blood work in a lab setting for example.

If you like computers you might look into Medical Informatics. I helped create the curriculum at the college where I work. I thought it was an interesting field.

That's great, did it take you awhile to figure out that this was something you wanted to do.

It was an idea I had a long time ago and then I was in a program where I needed to do a project and I brought it to management again and the president liked the idea so I assembled a group of deans and instructors and found a couple of people from the local hospital to be on the committee. It turns out that the Affordable Care Act had earmarked millions of dollars for this and a lot of schools started their own programs.
