I want to do something in health, but i don't work well with blood?

Question

i know, probably means that i shouldn't. But are there any professions that don't really deal with it? i have been looking into personal fitness trainer or pt. but any ideas? i want to have an active job and help people. so i guess if anyone has any of those suggestions that too would be helpful =] thanks!

Answer 1

Be a nutritionist.  You get to work with patients one on one to help them achieve better health and learn how to manage their health conditions nutritionally, not just weight loss.  You also don't have to deal with any of the gross stuff, which is always nice.  Nutrition also gives you the choice if you want to work in a hospital as a staff dietitian or in private practice.  Take all your sciences and math in high school to apply for human dietetics, usually a 5 year degree.

Good luck!  

Answer 2

While you may always be exposed to blood when working in health care, there are a few specialties which would only rarely have you working around blood.  You could become a radiology tech, taking xrays, MRI's, etc.  You could also investigate psychology.  But PT is a great career, too.  Not sure how good a career in personal fitness is, there seem to be a huge number of people doing it.

Answer 3

you could work behind a counter of a chemists easy and no blood
