I shall be being a social worker for a couple of monthsbefore getting (hopefully) paid to do a Masters in clinical psychology for children and young peoples. I've been doing neuroscience research for the last 5 years, and although it was interesting, the futility of it all became far too much to bear. Research without practise makes Jack a very dull boy.

Blimey,sounds like an interesting time ahead. And yes, I've got a friend doing a theoretical physics PhD. I understand her research topic, I just don't see the point of measuring what she's measuring the way she's doing it because the experiment could never actually be done. Theory is a weird thing.

yeh, I kind of lost interest in the last year of the phd.my problem was the idea of just doing research, analysing, writing and publishing, then starting again. I get why people do it, it just feels like a huge amount of work for not very much return other than a name on a paper. I don't think my chosen subject has an influence on the lives of anyone except desperate academics or students, looking for a paper to cite. So, a change will do me good.
All the best with your change and moving over there.
