I have an MS in cellular neuroscience.  I worked in research for 15 years before having kids.  I enjoyed the jobs somewhat.  My favorite parts were designing my own studies.  Carrying them out was meh.

I taught science at a university as an adjunct when my kids were young.  I loved teaching.  It wasn’t the 3-hr lectures that I loved.  What really energized me was the 1:1 or small group interactions during office hours and after class.

I’m now working full time as a lab manager and not loving it.

What career has 1:1 or small group interactions that’s in the field of neuroscience?  I’m willing to go back to school, but it’s the brain I love most.

My greatest moments are when I can be creative and when I can impact someone’s life.  Some of my best conversations with students were to reassure them about themselves, not necessarily science based.

Any guidance?  FWIW, I’m 47 yrs old, so med school is out of the question, but I would consider a PhD.  If I were 30, I’d do an MD/PhD in neuroscience and psychiatry.
