"I cannot imagine being unable to work in this profession because I enjoy it so much! If I had to draw on my other skills and passions, I would choose to work for a non-profit organization such as the local animal shelter. I am a big animal lover, so that would be a lot of fun."

"I am a very creative person who has always had a penchant for the arts. I realize that it's completely different than my career path, but if I knew, early on, that I could have made a career as an artist, I would have explored that option further. Of course, I am delighted with my choices and have no regrets. I honestly cannot see myself not working in this profession."

You can be honest and talk about another career that interests you since the interviewer asked this question. Just be sure to assure the interviewer that you do not have plans to leave your job in the healthcare field for another industry.
