Dear Readers:

I need to make a career change. In this case I actually need some sort of career. Notice I said career and not job. They are very very different.

I worked in a grocery store as a produce clerk for 8 years.

My degree is a BS in Radiologic Science with the Nuclear Medicine option.

I worked as a nuc med tech for 5 years, but at many different facilities.

I have had short stints as some sort of health physicist or radiation safety officer as well. With some of that being work in Iraq and Kuwait.

Oh, and time as a bicycle mechanic. And I have my EMT-B certificate.

I like talking to people. I like being outside. I like freedom. I like making decisions.

I dislike wearing a suit. I dislike high pressure when I'm not the one in control. I dislike sitting at a desk or computer for extended periods of time.

So dear readers, what do you think is something I could transition to with the education and work experience I currently have? I'm willing to get retraining or a different degree.

The only caveat is it has to be in San Diego. Remember, career and not "job".

Thoughts????
