I'm a healthcare consultant.
Until 9 years ago I was an attorney.
I made the switch because I didn't feel the satisfaction of helping people as an attorney, as much as I did when I could help people as a healthcare consultant.

The world of lawyers felt like a fancy and exclusive club based on 19th century values.
It was more about bluff and nepotism than about truly serving humanity.
Justice was a vain word in that world.

I went back to college , studied a Bachelor of Nursing , An Associate's Degree of Public Health, a Master of Nutrition and finished with a Doctoral Degree in Healthcare.
I am now making real differences in people's lives by affecting the way they are treated. By making sure their needs are taken into account when proposing a treatment plan.

That is what I derive satisfaction from.

Over the years, I was a combat engineer for a while, we did demo work, mostly C4 and det cord. I worked for a short time on a strip mine blasting coal and other rock for excavation. Then I got into aviation and haven't looked back. I have 3 decades of aircraft maintenance under my belt at this point and a cushy job. I don't fix engines any more, I answer my phone and use my experience to help other mechanics fix engines.

Every once in a while when trying to get rid of a stump or some rock, I wish I was still involved with the demo work but not bad enough to get back into it.

Interesting. Movies make people who work at such jobs crazy and impulsive, when I would expect them to behave as you describe.

Same as, "There are bold pilots and old pilots, but no old bold pilots."

Very interesting job description! I'm just an online representative for a legitimate company. I direct telecommunications traffic. Skills include computer proficiency and clear, professional speaking.

I work for a company that repairs mining equipment, specifically haul trucks, the largest ones in the world.

Self-employed dog-walker/pet-sitter. ☺️

Healthcare and farming.

Reading your thread makes me feel that now I am on a special list.

Interesting🙂
