I'm confused about what allied health field I should persue.Anyone have advice from personal experience?help!

I want to work in maybe an office (quieter) setting but still have excitement and fun with patients. I am a people person, but I am also sensitive and I don't think I will like nursing because of all the emotional abuse they recieve from doctors, patients and supervisors. You have to be tough to be a nurse, and I just don't think I will like that. So does anyone have any other ideas? Any suggestions? Any personal experiences they are willing to share regarding choosing their profession? I really want to make a salary between 45-50k at the least. Money is important to me, but not as important as how much I will enjoy my job. I really want something that will incorporate both the money I am looking for and the work enviornment.

Any help or advice will be SOOO appreciated! Thanks!!!

Try get into radiography!
you dont have to wipe anyone bum, clean up sick or deal with abusive people. you dont build much of a relationship with a patient, so you cant get emotionally attached as i imagine you would with nursing.
Radiography is pretty glorified. you dont get covered in sick, blood and nasties (much) but you get to make awesome pictures of peoples insides
How is that not cool?? :D
Im from NZ, there are 3 cities with courses
check out around where you live!

What about an x-ray technician, radiologist, pathologist, pharmacist, or a nurse practitioner.
