I'm telling you, you should look into occupational therapy. It's a mix of old and young, helping people with fine motor and sensory tasks, either rehabbing after an injury, or because they're young and have disabilities. You help the old guy organize his key chain by feel now that his eyesight is gone, then you ride a gigantic swing with a hyperactive 3-year-old with sensory integration problems, then you help the wheelchair-bound adolescent improve their hand strength so they can learn to feed themselves. Everybody loves their OT, and nobody releases fluids on them.
