Yeah. Do what you love and love what you do sums it up. I love what I do and have the occassional gripes. I can definitely empathize with neuroscience researchers. Funding has been easily as scarce as it has been lately in teaching. My school district has the same per pupil funding allowance as it did when I began teaching 15 years ago. Hopefully things will turn around with funding for science and teaching sometime soon. Teacher salaries aren't too terrible. Especially relative to the last economic downturn. There's some extra security in teaching comparatively speaking. I happen to know a few very talented neuroscience researchers too. Good people. One of those neuroscientists I know is very talented, as you'd expect a neuroscience researcher to be. He helped create this "hubski" online thing that's been cultivating and expanding a virtual venue for thoughtful sharing of information and viewpoints. The ideas driving it have integrity and universal appeal. You should check it out.
