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

But Physician Assistants aren't actually anyone's "assistant."

It's a misnomer.

They should rename it to Physician Associate or something.

[SoutheastBeast1]

I would not call this "making it" by any means. Need MOAR.

I can promise you have made it.

Obviously I get the need to make more, people always want to progress so I respect the need to always hustle and go higher.


But most will never get anywhere near what you make, all while only working 15 days out of the month for roughly 38 hours per week if you were to average it out.

You've made it on every level bro. So many more work longer for less and always will.

I'd rather be a "assistant" anything makine 130k+ a year than a "senior" or "supervisor" that cant even clear that.

Fellow PA brah checking in. First year out, also 26 years old. I make 112K salary + bonuses (located in GA). I'm working in critical care and only work 12 shifts per month. I do have to work nights, days, weekends, holidays....but 12 shifts per month is amazing.

[Antonio519]

Nice brah, applying to NP program for fall

[Mik3yp]

I'm an aspring PT, but thinking of PA as a backup. Is the coursework difficult? Or are programs difficult to get into?

that feel when lawbrah
that feel when earning way above my average pay in my field and at my age
that feel when self-employed
that feel when you're about to start a little operation on the side to become a double senior/supervisor
that feel when nobody calls me an assistant









that feel when my assistants go on sick leave every fukking month tho

I like your positivity. Thanks man

Wow didn't think I'd find another PA on this forum. Weekdays off are my favorite perk. Reps.

Nice brah, applying to NP program for fall

Good luck mayne

I'm an aspring PT, but thinking of PA as a backup. Is the coursework difficult? Or are programs difficult to get into?

I weighed those same options and chose PA for increased scope of practice and better income. It was not easy.

Not sure why the negativity man. You're doing well for yourself it seems

[KidGogeta]

Can i become a PA with my Bkin, being a kines sucks ass

what do your job tasks consist of

[zpaintballer]

Are you in the US? You need to take all of the PA school pre reqs first which you probably already have. Then you enter a master's program 2-3 years.

As a PA in the emergency dept, I see my own patients and diagnose, treat, prescribe, do procedures, etc. Whatever is necessary for their diagnosis

[Koreaesthetics]

yeah but how much debt are you in?

[EnglandPrevails]

Nice job. Of course, you could have made double by being an ER attending, but then you wouldn't be 26 when you're done with residency, and you'd have a lot of debt to pay back. I think you made an excellent choice.

As a PA in a small ER, are you completely independent, or do you still have to get an attending physician to lay eyes or sign off on what you're doing? Do you also see all cases, or are you in a more restricted "track" in the ED (for instance, only seeing certain acuity cases, with the more serious stuff going to the MDs?) Just curious, either way, congrats!

[paolo234]

wow gjdm

im 23 and only make 35k/year, dasitmane. guess im below average damn

[miscinginbed]

Why of all places would you choose to live in LA to do this job? You are literally poverty level there when you could do this job anywhere else and be living well...makes zero sense to me. Also just from a curiosity perspective, what is the upside of this career, I can't imagine it getting much higher.

[FlexLex]

Lol @ everyone pretending to be above PAs. Probably low level middle managers paper pushing making 49k a year.

PAs do an incredible amount of work in healthcare and without them it would take double to triple the amount of time to get access to physicians

[Gorillajewshead]

Good **** bro. This year i'll be just over 140k, but i work double the hours you do, Feelsbadman....
Sux when you see how much taxes they take from you...

[athrun340]

is it true you guys don't get time and a half pay for OT? that would totally suck

[buckeyenutz]

Nice OP -- that's equivalent to about $85k here in Columbus, but certainly a good wage for your age.

[Baylorballs]

OP, do you like your job ? Not the $$ and what you can do with it, is it a really miserable 10 hour shift, or reasonable. brutal honesty

[StickLegs78]

Nice job OP. Lots and lots of people will never make 6 figures at any age. Plus, you're on easy mode with the low hours.

[RobParks2M]

I'm in Los Angeles and I'm 26. I work in a smallish emergency dept and have 15 x 10 hour shifts/month.

Nice, is it fairly chill since your a PA? -By that I mean do MDs get stuck with the worst off patients and you end up dealing with the homeless with colds, drug seekers, and other BS no one else wants to deal with?

[MyBaddBrah]

Not bad brah. That is about 100k on average based off cost of living.

Says the guy thats never been to Los Angeles, LMAO.

You are 100% full of chit mang. Stop paying attention to whatever websites you're looking at.

[CTSV648HP]

Ok. Would you rather work about 15 hours a month and make even more than that like I do?

[Schism45]

Pretty surprised you make that much, I live in a similar cost of living area and PA's make 50-60k/year here.

[KillahJon]

good shyt brah

[StickLegs78]

Assume not srs? PAs make over 100k pretty much everywhere

[freshspam1]

I'm 26 too and make more while working less. AMA
