I've been looking for a low-pace part time job to make a little extra scratch. I'd love a second job like that. I give good tea.

Jobs are not entitlements. Be grateful it's something till the next thing comes along. And your degree is in psychology essentially.

In a STEM field, or a grievance-studies field?

Op says neurology, i don't think there's such a think as phd in what you're thinking of, only masters.

I was a receptionist for a few months after finishing my M.S. You will find something eventually.

I'm sorry OP, that is frustrating. I got a degree in Environmental Engineering and never could find a job so went into tech.

There's increasing amounts of money in concussion research now. Maybe have a look in that direction.

You should move to a new location. It took me less than a month to find an excellent Biomed job where I live.
