<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Can a high school science teacher be involved in research outside of their teaching schedule? I am considering becoming a high school science teacher, and to also pursue my passion of research to the side.</p>
<p>Thinking of double majoring in Neuroscience and Chemistry, and possibly a minor in secondary education to the side. I was thinking teaching Chemistry (more in demand than biology), and then do research in Neuroscience, and maybe start a neuroscience club at whatever school I end up at (yeah, I'm gushing now)... And yeah, I know I could become a professor instead and do research there, but I think I prefer the high school level since I'd be working with a more varied background of people, and I feel that it could be more rewarding to inspire instead of 'working' with those already interested. And that's why I am asking this question here anyway too!</p>
<p>Any insight or suggestion would be greatly appreciated too, thanks</p>
