My wife and others used to razz me a bit and say ‘what kind of job can you possibly get that would actually make use of your experiences being an EMT, a piano teacher(and others), and have a head full of useless and unrelated knowledge?’  I found the job, and it’s in the field of psychology.  Every day/week I get to meet with people for any number of issues, and I get to draw on my knowledge base and experience to be able to quickly develop rapport, figure out what the problems are and what people’s goals are, and come up with a plan. And it’s hard to get bored given the variety that is the human condition and its resulting behaviors.
