i have been planning on med school for a while, but honestly I just don't know that it's worth it. the stress, responsibility, etc. I am eyeing pa schools now.

IMO, you're right. Between the debt incurred, training in lieu of making money, time demands, and ridiculous administrative initiatives that are being push forth by the feds, it's not worth it.

The wife and I had the same conversation. She was a 4.0 tox major and had all the credentials needed for med school. But quality of life led her to PA, and we couldn't be happier about the decision. Especially with me being in admin and seeing the clusterfrick medicine is becoming.

I don't know about LA, but I'm pretty sure you could get into one of the 7 programs here in TX with those credentials.

You think the nurses are sleeping with PAs or MDs? I don't want to hear about work life balance.
