I have always liked Kineslogy, Anatomy and Physiology.

What about a quick 2 year program as a PTA. That is Physical Therapist Assistant. They mostly work in acute care like settings to assist people in extreme conditions.
I am too old for PT school again lol.. This job has a 25 percent growth rate.
 
Meh...
I figured out I was set up for working in a machine shop when I was 22.

I am very good at working body parts. you forget I worked as a successful Jewish massage Nose therapist before UPS.
 
Apparently I was also failed comedian at the Improv, in 1970s NYC:rolleyes::rolleyes:

It pays well but I seem to recall that you suffer from back problems. I was an X-Ray/CT/MRI tech for about 14 years and a PTA is a lot more physically demanding.

Wow you are interesting. You must be good at tech stuff. Very cool job. Why did you stop after 14 yrs. thanks
 
Based on your posts, I would recommend staying as far away from other people as you can .

Maybe you could ask a PT group if you could "shadow" someone for a few days to see what you think.

I would think that it might be frustrating to have insurance companies regulating what you can and can't do with people.

I've seen people have to stop in the middle of PT because that was all that was authorized.

I would imagine the therapists don't feel good about a job 1/2 done.
