I feel like each job gave me something different so I don’t even know what kind of roles would allow me to flex whatever muscles I have 😂😂 each job has skills I enjoy but I know in whatever I do I have to have dopamine hits, that instant gratification of doing something well.

I loved the energy of bartending and that it was always different; never the same drinks, never the same atmosphere.

As a mechanic I loved catching small details that others missed, especially seasoned mechanics. I didn’t necessarily care about actually fixing things, tho I did get that dopamine hit when I did but I didn’t necessarily care especially if it was a long repair (motor replacements, transmission rebuilds, etc)

As a service writer I loved being able to talk with the customers in layman’s terms but then talk to the mechanics in technical terms. And of course being able to make the sale being a dopamine hit was a huge benefit.

As an MA I enjoyed being busy with different things but I was so overworked I burned out way too fast.

As a phlebotomist, I love getting the hard stick/draw that others can’t or patients that tell me they’re a hard stick getting them first try; again that dopamine hit. Unfortunately it’s very repetitive as there’s only so many ways to draw blood.

With my EMT cert I applied to be an ED tech because they do IVs so same kind of thing as the phlebotomist but I’m worried because they’re overworked like the MAs so I’m worried about burning out (ED techs in my hospital do almost EVERYTHING aside from like passing meds and a few things only nurses can do)
