Seeking ideas (not advice) from you like-minded brethren about what the hell to do with my life! :) I've wound up rather stumped. Anyone who takes their precious time to read this moderately lengthy post will be rewarded with my tremendous gratitude.

Firstly, a little personal background to trivialize my life just so you can have a little idea of the direction my momentum is in: I graduated from a prestigious undergrad with a degree in Neuroscience and Cognitive studies as well as Biology ( I love both of the subjects, but I absolutely hate the life of a PhD). Increasingly began to set myself up for a career in medicine coming out of undergrad, did a masters in biomedical sciences, doing pretty dern well, and got married almost immediately after to the love of my life. I'm 26 now and I work in spinal cord injury research (love the neuro, but hate the research...not my niche; it's just SOMETHING right now). I've taken the MCAT several times since then, NOT doing exceptionally well however. Why? I don't think my heart is in medicine. And if I'm not doing medicine, I'm not doing anything in healthcare.

My wife and dearest friends are medical students, and the more I see of the field of medicine and my close ones going in as passionate and effective individuals completely have their soul crushed due to having to follow the protocol of beurocratized medicine and spend their entire lives in books only to fail successive quizzes and tests and not even be encouraged to think, but instead memorize protocol to be a good "doctor"...I'm sorry, I just hate it. This goes for all of US healthcare. But I have a HUGE passion for helping people through interaction.

I'm completely okay with studying and learning, but my soul years so much for going out and DOING. Interacting with people. Extreme sports (I'm an ultra endurance athlete and mountain biking addict)! I think I might have a greater output into this work if my soul is fed and I'm a passionate and energetic individual. But there isn't a ton I can do with a masters in science. I'm considering along the lines of getting an MBA (any way this would be a good combo with my MS?). Thinking about becoming a therapist or personal trainer. Doing a combo of these things?

Disclaimer, I'm not expecting to get everything all figured out at this moment. I just want to know how to live to set myself up for a life of fulfillment.

ANY thoughts that aren't troll-ey or sarcastic will be highly appreciated, as you may make the difference of my life.

Much love.
