Leverage GI Bill for Patient-Focused, Routine Career: Counseling or Nursing

A 27-year-old with varied experience (music, army medic, phlebotomy) is seeking a stable career path leveraging their GI Bill. Their strengths include enjoying routine, calming nervous patients, 1-on-1 talks, and doing well on written tests, while disliking high pressure and constant variety. Psychology (mental health counseling, clinical/forensic psychologist) is being considered, aligning with their interpersonal skills. Additionally, comments suggest nursing, which leverages their medical background (phlebotomy) and offers job security. The opportunity is to strategically use the GI Bill to pursue a higher education path that leads to a career offering stability, routine, and patient interaction, such as counseling or nursing, which align well with their expressed preferences and skills.
