Please help: I love kids, the elderly, and the metally challenged?

Ideas for consideration:

- Activities coordinator or admissions director for an adult living community.

- Run a summer camp for kids, particularly with handicaps or illness (like cancer)

- Be a special education teacher (any level, young through high school) -- design your own activities and lessons, so you control the pace

- Work in a government services job like a social worker or program coordinator -- while this sounds slow paced, they are usually overloaded with work and can use someone with energy and creativity

- Be a nurse -- there is a critical shortage in the US

Good luck!

Working in a nursing home sounds like a good job for you. I worked in the activities department for a year and a half at a nursing home. I loved it. The pay wasn't great but it was very fulfilling. I wish I wouldn't have left.

be a social worker or occupational therapist in a hospital. that's what my mom does (in a pediatric special needs clinic) in a hospital so she gets some of the fact paced feel but she also gets the personal interaction.

you could work in a hospital. You could be a physical therapist in a nursing home (my mom is one and they make a lot of money) or a hospital. You could work for a charity in another country to help really poor people or something.

One more thing try going to schools around where you live and ask if they need help working with special ed students

You and I are different I do not like old people, kids or mentally challenged people
