Is anyone pursuing this career for purely the money/job stability?
I’m a rising senior in college and am on the PA track. Truth is, I don’t really think I want to do it. I shadowed a PA and hated it. I’m gonna get my phlebotomist certification in the summer, and I’m not excited. I originally wanted to be a vet/doctor (specifically a pathologist), however, I gave up after I ruined my gpa after a cancer diagnosis. I also don’t want to spend an entire life in school. However, when I worked at the vet clinic, I developed an interest in lab science (microbiology and molecular biology). I’d rather spend my time getting a PhD or masters. However, I know PA is a stable career and make a good salary. I also go to a school that has a PA program. Would you suggest to pursue this career if you’re main reason for pursuing it is money and job stability?
