• Answer:

  It's tough to say since there are many fields in which the job vacancies are just Not there including medical assistant, medical biller and/or coder, radiologic technology (used to be referred to as x-ray tech), surgical tech and respiratory tech. Some may suggest looking into either occupational therapy assistant (ota) or physical therapist assistant (pta) as both typically "only" require an associate (two-year) degree (from an accredited program in the field). However, both the ota and pta may have a job that is emotionally as well as physically draining. They say to go with one's passion and to try to make a living out of that. How about job shadowing/observing or even volunteering at the local hospital and/or nursing home and finding out if feeling at ease in that type of environment. There should be a volunteer coordinator or 'director of volunteers' at those types of facilities. For general career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search.
