Health Care Professions

The suggestions so far have been really good, so keep them coming.

 Sorry for not specifying many interests butterfly kiss3z and I like a lot of the suggestions you made. Things that catch my interest are odd things like nutrition, pre-natal care, accupuncture, or just anything aren't what people automatically think of.  I'm interested in a lot of different areas, but the ones that get me the most excited are the ones that don't seem to fit in with my three main concerns.  Those are as follows: I don't want to work at a hospital(too many bad memories), I don't want to want a field that will have a ton of compition, and I want something that I can make a living doing while remaining within a reasonable distance of my family.
 As for waiting so long to decide(which I understand I probably should have started that process sooner), I was trying to make a decision between 3 career paths.   I was trying to decide between going into healthcare, marketing, or writing.  I was most passionate about marketing, but during the summer I finally decided that it wasn't worth leaving my family.  I also realized that I could still pursue writing in my free time while keeping a day job.  Also another thing that kept me from rushing my decision is that I'm going to the community college in my hometown to get my basics before transfering elsewhere.  Thanks for the help!
