what do kids do with a neuroscience degree?

[Anonymous]

I mean, I can guess what they might do with it, but what do kids you actually know do with it?
It seems like a popular major but to my knowledge didn't exist 25 years ago when I was in school.

It was called "psychology" then.

Med school usually. You want a school that has a standalone department for this major. I think Pitt is one of them, CMU, Berkeley

It absolutely was not. I have friends who are neuroscientists. They work for research labs at universities and private companies doing research/drug testing/etc. They all have PhDs.

My DD’s roommate has going to med school. You can also become a scientist.

My roommate majored in neuroscience and works at the CDC.

My wife has an undergrad degree and Ph.D. in neuroscience. She has an NIH-funded lab and is a professor at a med school. Friends of hers from undergrad went to med school or grad school mostly. Friends from grad school and/or her grad students are scientists in academia or industry, at least one science writer, one friend a program officer at NIH, etc.
