Make the lives of a few people much, MUCH better by joining a clinical team and working on a clinical trial! Pay is terrible compared to other tech jobs, but generally much better than the average salary, so you're not going to starve by any means. You get to be on a very smart team that treats patients. And every day is that "wow I can't believe I'm doing this, and also I don't really know what I'm doing" feeling — and it's shared by everyone because you're pushing the boundary of standard of care. And the BEST part is that I'm not some tech genius, I haven't even worked at FAANG before, but everyone looks at you like you're some genius because you're most likely one of the very few technical people there- so you'll end up writing code, working with the lab and clinical team to document stuff, build data collection and report generation systems, etc. It's not as sexy as the next big fancy app, but again your work could help a lot of people. - But better yet, I think there are many more fields in the world that need a tech person to assist them like this, in any industry (from trucking to farming to clinical to whatever), and it'll be equally rewarding. Hope you find your next thing!
