How do I find a new career

Question

I am looking to find a new career that keeps me interested.my interests are helping people and animals.I think that I am good at calming high stress situations.

The problem is that I don't know how to determine what career would be good for me and that I would be great at.

I get bored easily and yet I am a great worker when I am excited about what I'm doing.

I have worked in retail for 11 years and I am ready for something different.

Do you have any good ideas for which direction would be right for me?

Answer 1

I guess that depends on how long you want to stay in school.  You could work as a nurse with a 4-year college degree, or a drug counselor, but you'd have to go longer for psychology or psychiatry.  Or you could do a 2-year program in vet tech, or just get a job at a vet's office and do a lot of the same stuff.

Answer 2

Hi there, yes I am having the same issue in my life. I have worked in the medical field as a medical assistant for 14 years. During those 3 years I opened a 6 bed carehome for the elderly. I would  recommend going to the junior college a talk to a career counselor. I researching alot of different careers but I really don't want to spend alot money that I have to pay back in loans. Good Luck..
