To be considering drastically changing careers?

I'm currently in business consulting and I'm very bored. I want to do a job that's exciting and gets me out of the house every day.

I've been thinking about a range of areas that interest me. Does anyone have any insight into changing to these careers? Or does anyone else have any other suggestions?

Paramedic
Nurse
Environmental conservation
Emergency and Disaster Management
Crime investigation
Forensic archaeology

Or AIBU to consider moving to something so different? I'm also completely undecided on which of these I'd like to do which doesn't help.

For context, I'm 24 and studied an original BA in history.

I did it at 29.

I was in the hair and beauty industry and self employed. Hated it. Wanted a mortgage, couldn’t get one alone as too low an earner. Went on to become a civil servant and started at a bottom great. Worked out great for me:)

Why not stay doing what you are doing for a while to build up experience but sign up for a reserve force for a bit more excitement? The RAF would be my first port of call over the other two, they are currently recruiting in several areas, admin, intelligence service, RAF police etc.

Alternatively working in Flood and Coastal Risk Assessment with the Environment Agency within an incident response role.
