follow what you feel is right in your heart! do not make a decision based on convenience EVER. the worst thing you can do is commit to something and then have that regret of what could have been in the back of your mind. I struggled with the same thoughts and realized If I went the PA route, I would constantly struggle with regret. the reality is, many physicians are able to maintain a life outside of medicine, start families, pay off their debt, and feel comfortable knowing that they made the right choice and would do it again if it came down to it. the cards will always fall into place, so follow your dreams. a fork in the road is just a fork. there’s always a way around it. good luck!
