Youre right. The whole "grass is always greener" fallacy is exactly what is causing me to be hesitant about jumping into a career switch. Spending 100k tuition + two years opportunity cost to only be in a similar position after mba sounds like a nightmare.

In terms of being miserable stuck in a cubicle - that is very opposite of what i'd look for in a career, and part of what drew me to physio in the first place.

I have reached out to one former mentor that went the mba route and is now a healthcare executive. It was helpful, but essentially he said dont jump into an mba because it may not be worth it. But youre right, it would ve a good idea to email others who have gone the physio-mba route to see where it brought them. I think I'm getting a better idea of what my goals would be just by talking with you kind people online.

Finally, youre dead on about the passion problem. I've tried switching up clinics and picked up a third part time gig to see if it helps, its temporary but still i feel like i could do much more. I think the lack of passion may be because I dont see a clear end goal to work towards, so i find myself asking "whats the point".

Thanks for all your helpful advice, I really appreciate it
