tell me about a career in aviation without a medical

See FAR 61.23. You can do flight instruction without a current medical if
the student is PIC. That would limit the training to post-private, sport
pilot, and current BFR's.

Can't do anything that would require you to also be the safety pilot in
Simulated Instrument Flight. That's a real sticky point for a CFI friend
who lost his medical.

I'm not convinced that's true (the first sentence, not the second...I won't
comment on what's sticky for your friend and what's not ).

Specifically, all that 91.109 requires is that the pilot hold the relevant
category and class ratings. The pilot need not be current, and I see
nothing to suggest the pilot need to have a current medical.

Try 61.23. A safety pilot is a required flight crew member. Believe
me, we discussed this with FAA headquarters on this.
