Want to switch careers--please help!!

Hi All:

I'm new here and hoping someone can offer some advice to me. I hold a Ph.D. in Biological Psychology and have been doing some academic writing and working on clinical trials for a few years. The thing is that I am finally admitting to myself that these are not my strengths and I am really unhappy. I was always super-creative and love working with people. However, that is kind of the opposite of what I'm doing. Does anyone have any ideas for what I could do with my background (not therapy)? I would prefer to not go back to school after already being in school for so many years. Also, I'm not really sure what I would even want to go back to school for. Any suggestions would be amazing!!

Neuroscience? Cognitive Psychology? Those are both fields that overlap what you hold before and doesn't relate to therapy at all.
