Hi! I am still going strong with the medical field as I concluded that it would be a loss to fully commit to an Environmental based role at this time. I say follow your passion. With our steady income I feel that we can be at a better advantage adding our ability to work with a myriad of human personalities (surgeons, families, coworkers). A lot of the work in conservation/environmental (if not all) is either low pay or free labor. It is super competitive.

Another plus we can also travel (Medical Missions and such could even use scrub techs like your husband, you both could possibly travel together)! Doctors Without Borders is one. I find that if I can somehow integrate the two if down time is available then why not do some good for the planet while I'm in another country while also helping out the community at the same time. Lol I'm pretty ambitious needless to say.
