Which of these careers should i do in the future?

Hello, I'm 11th in HS and I was wondering what career is good for me in Southern California. I like to think about others and helping people and also caring. Which one of these careers will be good for me for a long time until i get old like 401k plan. I was pretty sure becoming a dental hygienst but i dont know if men should do that for a living :/ 1. Physical Therapist 2. Chiropractor 3. Dental hygienist 4. Nurse 5. Massage Therapist
--------------------
I don't know anything about the others, but being a Massage Therapist is VERY hard. The bottom line is, yes, it pays very well. However, it is not a usual 9 - 5 job. An hour-long massage may not seem like that long but it is very tiring. I was just in a massage class this past semester, and our textbook said that it is unhealthy for a practitioner to do more than 20 hours of massage a week. Yes, some people do more. They usually burn out after 5 years. Many people think that massage is very easy and that massage therapists are people that couldn't get into nursing school. This is not true at all. It is a very difficult thing to be good at and very difficult to do PROPERLY. If you want to become a dental hygienist, then why don't you? Because you don't that it's a man's job? Maybe you should watch "Meet the Parents". Ben Stiller gets hassled all the time for being a male nurse, but he sticks with it because HE'S GOOD AT IT. Contact your dentist and ask if you can shadow a hygienist for a day (or a few hours after school.) I did this when I thought I wanted to be a hygienist, and even though I am now in a different career, it was a very interesting thing to do and I learned a lot in just a few short hours. That way you will know for sure if being a hygienist is something you want to do or not.
