Serious answer: become a nurse, get a job at a neonatal intensive care unit. Newborns are both precious and delicate, and also tough and require manhandling. You'll get plenty of baby-whacking opportunities with parental approval!

Serious reply, NICU nurses are the closest things to angels in this world and I appreciate everything they do. I know a few people I am close to would not be here without them.
