Hi everybody!

I'm posting here because someone has recently introduced and intrigued me on the field of neuroengineering while I'm in a phase of kind of searching for my niche in an open-minded fashion. So, I'm just looking for thoughts, wisdom, facts, whatever you have to say :)

Firstly, a little personal background to trivialize my life just so you can have a little idea of the direction my momentum is in: In 2017 I graduated from a relatively prestigious college with a major in Neuroscience and Cognitive Studies , went on to work in Emergency Medicine Research while I contemplate life choices, did a masters in biomedical sciences trying to open up the option of medicine (thinking that was what I wanted), got married, and now I'm working in spinal cord injury research. I'm still questioning whether or not I want to enter the field of medicine and wanting to rule out everything else, because I'm not going to dive into medicine unless I can't conceive of doing ANYTHING else. Throughout my time in undergrad and hereafter I have come to increasingly love neuroscience and expand my knowledge base in it. However, I don't know if I can convince myself I really dig most of the lives of PhD neuroscience work (I'm an extravert and don't like too much sitting by myself on a computer all the time...not that this is what the field is always like). But I could perhaps convince myself to get a PhD if it were to open the doors to something more dynamic in the field. I LOVE solving problems, and coming up with their potentially complex solutions.

Anyway, my main questions here are: What different sets of credentials do people typically have entering the field of neuroengineering? Would it be possible for me to find a position with what I currently have (little background on the engineering/math side, but more on the neuroscience side)? What about with a PhD in neuroscience? What type of people enjoy being neuroengineers? What type of businesses/companies hold neuroengineering positions?

Obviously I don't expect anyone to answer all of my questions here; they're simply what's going through my head at the time. So any info or word at all, favorable or unfavorable, would be highly welcomed and appreciated!

Thanks!
