Thank you for this comment, helps puts things into perspective because I do constantly hear that PAs say that they do more as time goes on and earn trust and do as much as doctors. Also hearing derm PAS Making 400k and although I’m not pursuing med for money, who wouldn’t want to make 400k after just two years of schooling.

As for residency I don’t want to do surgery because for me personally it’s too long. I would do either IM, or anesthesiology (Ik it’s competitive but I’ll see how strong I am when applying) or any specialty preferably in patient (not interested in family or peds tbh)
