You may have no interest in this field, but have you thought about going into education to be a teacher? With your interests, I could see it pairing very well with an upper elementary teacher (but there’s obviously lots of flexibility in terms of what ages you might be inclined towards). Elementary teachers tend to teach most subjects, so you can delve into history and weather. Cooking seems as though you’d be inclined towards science experiments in the classroom (and cooking does happen occasionally as well in elementary school). Elementary teachers tend to have very arts & crafts-y classrooms, but it doesn’t need to be professional-artist quality. Lots of school districts have increasing amounts of international families, so even learning things like hello and thank you in multiple languages is apt to happen. Psychology is important in terms of figuring out why kids are doing what they’re doing, and also about how to interact with families. Not being much of a people person is an obstacle, but what is it about dealing with people that you don’t like?
