      off the top of my head, elevator mechanic? pretty okay pay, offshore proof, maybe recession proof, good growth in positions. I dont know how long training is tho, and I assume youd have to okay being in tight spaces.

      If you can get a counseling degree reasonably cheap it's pretty good, just be prepared to listen to peeps BS and have to find ways to healthily compartmentalize it. Nursing is similar in what I've experienced in hearing shit I shouldn't have to hear.

          I mean the peeps I've met in it are pretty cool. There's also nutritional science (can start by getting a Associates in it and working at low cost, hospitals always need peeps to go over TPN and other nutritional orders and outside of that you can become a nutritional counselor.

              Ah yeah it can be grating and doesn't allow much maneuvering compared to nursing (I'm currently going into public health due to how bedside is currently broken and isn't gonna repair itself in a while). There's also physical therapy as well, lot less stressful than nursing and allows one to work in hospitals as well as in individual clinics or via private practice. Mind though that you should strive to obtain you're PT degree as cheaply as possible as it requires a master's level to be certified to practice.
