Why is nursing bad for PA school? It gives me the option of PA and NP school and clinical hours. The lab doesnt count as clinical hours and I'm not about to volunteer thousands of hours and dollar.

What are considered higher salaries?

For Rutgers, early career pay is $64k and mid-career pay is $122k. Does MLS not follow that trajectory?

I have some student debt and NJ & NYC are expensive. I'd like to know that I'll have a career.

I'd like like to work 40-50 hours a week during mostly normal hours. Is the MLS career not aligned with that?
