From what I can tell, you seem like a BECAUSE ICH, or, By Educating, Caring, and Using Skills, Even I Can Help. I see this a lot. It includes medical, educational, justice, and service professions. I think you should look into two main areas;

MEDICAL - Dental work would be a good safety profession; it pays well and is straightforward. If you want to do medical work but find it monotonous or doesn't fit you, orthodontic or endodontic work might be other options. The dental industry is full of variety. It is also a great way to help people - what better way to help people smile than by giving them a healthy, shiny smile they can be proud of and teaching them self-care?

JUSTICES - If you think something more creative might suit you, maybe social justice is more your thing. There are ways you can advocate for others, from being a social worker to an intervention specialist to a court attorney. While careers in this field are distinctive, they would let you protect and assist others. If you can't see yourself as a lawyer, no biggie, there are plenty of ways to advocate for others. (aka social media)
