You have many career options, genetic counseling is good if you also like people and counseling, you may also need additional training/school. Get a job in a lab either academic or biotech (you will make more money in industry), try different areas to see if Genetics is your favorite. I gave up a PhD and an MD for a master's degree in molecular and cell biology, and I am totally happy with my family life and working in the biotech industry. Dont go to medical school, my father did and I lost many years of time with him, if that is really a concern of yours. There are many other interesting things you can do, I think you're on the right track.
