Being right, small talk, a lot of stuff, don't care anymore.

Too far away but actually a good idea. My son would love that. He has turned into a hiking enthusiast.

Introvert? Extrovert? Entrepreneurial/risk taking or check-collecting/stability oriented? Step right into it or need more education/schooling/experience?

I sort of always circle back to nursing. For some reason DH thinks that is a bad idea, I don't know if he is afraid I will bring home germs or what. I was thinking I could stick it out two more years and start somewhere when youngest starts 1st grade. I haven't looked at programs or anything yet. I've had it in the back of my mind for years but I am slow to make giant changes.

It's weird, I'm an introvert mostly but if I like someone I will talk a lot. So I guess I am very selective? Not a huge risk taker, I like stability. Last one would depend on the change.

Too far away but actually a good idea. My son would love that. He has turned into a hiking enthusiast. I met a seasonal ranger while training for my John Muir Trail hike last year. They were packing them all out when I was doing the actual hike in September. I thought that would be a pretty interesting gig for a summer.
At the back country resorts the seasonal workers would head over to the ski resorts.
But my favorite was the sign at the Vermillion Valley Resort which said "Wash dishes and eat free!"

If you want to start your own business *immediately* - how about housecleaning, dog-walking, pet sitting? In the right area(s) these small start-ups grow rapidly, and owners are soon hiring folks to do the work and just running the business with contracted individuals and crews.
Infant care at home - again depending on your area and rules you could probably get a community-based home care license pretty quickly. I have a good friend who does this, and she just hired more staff and opened a second facility (a classroom in a local church). Infant care in my region goes for as much as $2,400 per month (no that's not a typo ).
I have no clue if any of these interest you or are temperamentally suited to you, but I'm throwing them out there because you can start tomorrow with very little start-up costs - just time and sweat equity.
Good luck whatever you decide.
EDITED TO ADD: I have another friend with a daycare business that specializes in sick children (sick as in, their regular daycare provider won't take them because they have a fever, runny nose, etc). She specializes in "bailing out" parents who just can't miss work. She makes a pretty penny . . . but she's also a retired LVN and loves kids; she's not in it "just" for the (really good) money.

... It's weird, I'm an introvert mostly but if I like someone I will talk a lot. ... How about thinking about it differently. What "charges your batteries"? Do you leave a party drained or energized? I love to be on stage. I do community theater. At the end of a performance I spend hours alone because I am drained. I skip cast parties. My ex hates to be on stage. She loves to be with a group of people. She can sit up until 2 or 3 in the morning talking and then have trouble getting to sleep. Does your husband know that if you spend the day interacting with patients that you will be too exhausted to do anything when you come home?

There are lots of jobs for nurses that are also introverts. Patient care is not the only thing nurses are hired to do! Many of them are hired to do QA/chart reviews, run tests in labs, do research, manage wards in hospice care settings, do med management review, conduct and compile medical info and surveys, etc. It can be a varied and interesting career.

Yes, I was going to suggest something similar. A friend of mine pursued nursing because she'd always assumed that's what she wanted to do. After getting into it she decided that the gory stuff was too hard for her so she was hired by a law office to help read medical stuff for cases.

Being right, small talk, a lot of stuff, don't care anymore. WH spokes person position may be opening up soon. Not sure that position would carry anyone for two years though and you'd need to buy a boat load of shares in the company that produces TUMS to pay for the habit you will develop
Now kidding aside, have you thought of starting your nursing study now? If that is somthing you really want to do you could get a lot of classes out of the way before your youngest goes to Kindergarten

How about starting a Home Organization business? If I remember correctly, I think you are an expert at that and it pays pretty well.

Bonny, did you post pictures/journal your hike? I may have missed it if you did, sorry. Sorry for the hijack.

Ummm....accountant, of course.
Jokes aside, my tax professor in college was an engineer for years before she got her accounting degree and her CPA.
