Royal Air Force could encompass a great deal of these elements and with regards to teaching when in you develop as an individual and find your own skill and 'specialist subject' and if your good you could even become an instructor. For example I was a good Combat Medic for the Army, specialised interest was Helicopters, taught in the training wing of my unit & was incharge of landing zones when on exercise / combat. Sounds like you'd love the RAF.

I know one recent college art grad that went into art program management. Another that works in a gallery and is a certified "art mover". They don't let just anyone move that million dollar stuff! Go to a local gallery and ask around - you might just get a summer job that will inspire you!
