Hm. Neither of my careers (future or current) really fit with your interests, I don't think. I currently work in Human Resources, doing all the Immigration work for the hospital. It's paperwork heavy, but I'm pretty anal retentive so that's not bad, and I am actually helping people. Coming here means a change in life at least, and certainly a grand addition to their education and knowledge. Most of the people I deal with are happy to have me. That's nice. Recruitment is like that too - everyone needs you, so everyone is nice. I trained on the job, but most places want you to have some legal knowledge. Paralegals would do well with this. Money - wide range, especially depending on where you work. Easily $50 no experience - $100K with experience.

My future career is as a Physician's Assistant. Why the change? Got to get away from the desk, it's not for me. And I will be Really Useful. My goal (right now) is to be in an ER, because of the variety and the volume of patient responsibility. You need several science/math courses, and you can get a certificate, or a BS, or a Master's as a Physician Assistant. 3rd fastest growing job in the US. Salaries in the US are around $75K average for people walking out of school, for any of the types of PA.

Hope that helps.
