i want to be happy, it seems very very hard to become a doctor and a little easier to become a PA. If I decide to become a PA do you think I will always think in the back of my head that i should have become a doctor?

Yes, because you will be doing all the grunt work for the physician. Why not go ahead and be a doctor, then you can have your own PA seeing your patients. What makes me mad is that you go to the doctor, especially a specialist, and who do you end up seeing? A PA instead of the doctor.
By the way, I worked in the hospital before retiring and met some pretty remarkable PAs. Good luck if you decide to go that route. They have better bedside manners than the doctor.

I think personally you accomplished a lot. You should have no regrets. You still made a huge accomplishment . I just had my ankle reconstructed and the PA answered my questions better then the Surgeon, and this surgeon is considered the best ankle guy in Philly , I went to Jefferson over Special surgery to have him do it. He does all the athletes. Honestly though Even though it has only been 26 days and I have 2 more weeks in a hard cast I can tell it is better already. Keep up the good work and your passion. Thanks to all you guys and gals that fix us up.

My brother is a PA and is very well off. He is happy and lives in a very well to do area in Tulsa. So, as for it being a noble job, if Noble means you make good money and are respected, well the money is there, it is up to you to get the respect.
