After figuring out that optometry or medical school would be too long for me and would not provide me with work flexibility I'd like, I'm trying to weight PA or NP options. What id like to do is have interesting work and work no more than 3 days a week. Once I come home, I'd like to be perfectly disconnected from my job. I'm a cpa working for a very demanding clients and literally sometimes I feel like I never stop thinking about deadlines, demands etc. not to mention I work late every day and weekends and I don't think I'd enjoy 8-5 regular boring accg job.
I'm more leaning toward PA option, but first I'd need to get prereqs done and get direct paid healthcare experience but it still seems faster than going NP route and I don't think I'd enjoy being an RN for a year or so.
What do you guys think? Would PA provide me an option to work no more than 3 days a week? Will I be treated bad by doctors and patients all the time? I've always been interested in medicine and science aspect of it, not sure how the real life experience is going to be. Any feedback is highly appreciated.
