I think getting out on your own is a great idea. And if you’re not really interested in medicine, but love your major - have you ever thought about a tech route? A lot of AI work requires neuroscience… The teams are quite diverse, the work is cutting edge, and AI will benefit so many people (especially in medicine) - not to mention the neuro guy is always the brainy guy in the room so he gets lots of respect and the pay in tech is phenomenal.
