Helping people may not preclude careers outside social worker or Healthcare careers. You may want to take an aptitude evaluation and find your underlying desires, weaknesses and strengths . If you like science and math consider being a biochemist, engineer or metallurgy. If inclined to help financially, then perhaps financial adviser, an accountant or low income housing developer. If you are hands on, then consider agriculture, hoticulture or animal science. These wide range options are only suggestion and obviously not all inclusive.
Find yourself first and be what gives you that warm feeling, pursuit and contentment. Like who you are, set your standards and goals; and let life facilitate a blossoming career.
Best of life choices.

I suggest you explore volunteering opportunities in your local community that involve helping people. This could include nursing homes, hospitals, doctor's offices, churches, restaurants, or sports therapy centers. Check with your school to see if they have a list of community service locations where you might be able to volunteer. This will give you a better idea of the available options, allowing you to talk to people and learn about the requirements for each career.
Since helping people is a broad field, try to identify the top five areas that interest you the most. Keep in mind that every choice has its pros and cons. For example, working in a nursing home might involve lifting patients, bathing them, or dealing with memory loss and suffering. In a doctor's office, you may encounter a lot of blood. To narrow down your top five options, make a list of the positive aspects you like, as well as the negative aspects. This will help you make a more informed decision about the best path for you.
