I want to be an expert at something. I love to read and I love to teach, but a research intensive career is not for me. When people ask what preclinical class I liked the most I can't come up with an answer, I liked them all. I was thinking radiology, but I just don't know anymore. Schedules, presence or lack of patient content, and pay are of little importance to me. I just want to love my job in 20 years.

Mods, am I allowed to post such diffuse questions?

See, that's me, but I love bugs!

Neuro's pretty cool...

Actually yeah: neuro, psyche, or neuro/psyche would fit his discription pretty well. Lots of reading, sort of a teaching position even via patient contact.

We have a pathologist that teaches a lot of our pathophys units. She is great and loves to teach.

Pathology may be a good fit. Try shadowing a physician, or do an elective rotation to see if it is something you'd enjoy doing.
