I'm going to be a senior in high school, and I'm deciding whether or not to do pre-med or do pre-PA.
I've heard both of those fields are competitive, but isn't the pre-med track more competitive, difficult and more stressful? If i were to become a doctor, I would want to be a psychiatrist. Could you guys list some pro's and con's of becoming a physician assistant and a doctor.
I want to start a family as soon as possible, live at least a middle class life(spend some money here and there like on a good car such as a Mercedes .etc), don't really care about status too much, want to have time to take vacations and spend time with family after work. What is the best job for me PA or doctor?
I understand that doctor do make double the pay as what PA's make? but would it be worth it to go to med school? The only thing thats motivating me to become a doctor is people who tell me that I'm to stupid to become a doctor. Overall, I would definitely want to work in the health field but just can't decide between PA or doctor? I'm scared of chemistry btw, not that great at it from high school. (had like a B average)
Should i try premed during college? and if it doesn't workout just try to get into PA school instead since the prereqs are somewhat similar for premed and prePA.
