What type of degree would you suggest I go for?

I have been up and down trying to figure out what type of courses/degrees I should go for when I apply for college. I wanted to join the Military but seeing as that is most likely not going to happen...I've decided that I need to take courses in something else that would benefit me job-wise if I do not qualify for the Military. Apologies in advance because I'm so jumbled about this that this might not make very much sense.Sorry again. I love reading/literature. I am a huge fan of "old" literature too.I am a history buff. I love cryptic things.I love puzzles,meaning things that might not make sense just looking them...I love the challenge of figuring things out. I'm intrigued with serial killers and motives (like figuring out or trying to understand the reasoning of how someone who seemed perfectly normal could do such atrocious things). I enjoy helping people.I am often sought out to be a shoulder to lean on and listen well to problems and give good advice (so I'm told...) I love babies and children,I have 5 of my own,and I am very good with children and infants. I can deal with a large amount of stress,and can push aside issues to get the goal accomplished without biased opinions and assumptions.

I am not looking for a teaching job. That is probably the only career path I do not want to take.I would also not like to be in politics either. Rather than those two and my jumbled mess of interests...what courses or degrees should I aim for or what possible career paths would you suggest going for? If any further input is needed just let me know and I will put the info in the added details. ANY suggestions are appreciated and thanks for taking the time to read this. Also for anyone who asks why I am not pursuing the Military career anymore as much as I was...I still fully intend on trying to join the Military but will most likely be disqualified for 2 different reasons(gestational diabetes in a previous pregnancy and having 5 children) that I do not think I will be able to get a waiver for.That is why I want to have something else under my belt so I'm not left in the dust at square one when I am disqualified from joining.Although it is my primary career path that I want to take,I just do not see it working out the way I hope it does. Thanks again for taking the time to read this massive question and for any suggestions you may have.
