    I always found medical things fascinating. But I hate people so being a doctor or nurse is out. I also like working with my hands.

    Did some googling and stumbled into a career where I get to cut up diseased human organs removed during surgery. It can be pretty cool!

      If you ever want to go further, pathology as an MD or DO would be perfect. Sounds like you might work with them already. Med school is difficult, annoying, and expensive though.

        I do sometimes lament not going for med school, but to be honest I don’t think I would have made it through. Academically maybe, but not mentally. It’s OK tho I still make a pretty good wage and am fairly satisfied with my work. It’s also nice to not be in charge of the ultimate patient diagnosis like the pathologist is. It’s an interesting environment and well suited to my personality. I work with/for pathologists and the ones at my employer are generally super friendly. I would definitely recommend things related to this field to people!
