If you really want some stress in the shop, teaching is hard to beat. I'm not a naturally graceful or coordinated person, but I am at least pretty aware of where my body is relative to the sharp things. It's my experience that not everyone has that.

I had a chance to teach wood shop at a high school while the usual teacher was on sabbatical. I declined because I decided I couldn’t deal with the possibility of some kid losing a finger on the table saw while in my class.
