I'm a physician assistant and this is my first year out of graduate school. I did a search on this forum for PAs and saw a lot of negative **** so I thought I would clear up some things if guys had questions.
I haven't posted on this forum in years, so take it easy on the misc lingo. *******s.

Aspiring PA here. Where are you and age? I am assuming you are working your ass off in a UCC or ED?

Not bad brah. That is about 100k on average based off cost of living. When did you get done with undergrad and apply for PA school? (How many tries?) Age of people in your class? I will prob be 28-29 when I get in :/Originally Posted by zpaintballer

PAs in the UK make about 30-40k. It's actually quite sad.

Will I be ballin' out of control with this salary? No. But I'd be fool to rely only on the income from work. Investments are the next step.Originally Posted by badlasagna
Not sure how you made that calculation but... Entered PA school at 23 and got in first try. Avg age would be high 20s I'd say.Originally Posted by clodoveo1

Congrats fellow paintballer brah!
Which PA school did you go to? Girl I'm seeing now is a medical assistant applying to schools around LA. Trying to be as supportive as possible but I know jack chit about PA anything."If in my say 80 years on earth I do more help than damage, then I feel complete."

What are your monthly bills in total?
Do you still have a ridiculous amount of play money after bills/saving?
If so, what do you spend it on? Travel? Substances? Poosy?
all srsThere is no thing without nothing.

How does it feel knowing you'll always have to be supervised by the attending while NP'ers can fly solo

Is it worth it? Working 150 hrs a month for only $130k would be a Hard No for me.

If I'd ever had a job position that had the word 'assistant', I'd kill myself.
