Hey guys, I'm 24 years old and right after high school I started working. As I got higher in retail management, I put off school longer and longer, which I really regret. I'm ready to start back again, but I just have some questions you might be able to help me with. I'm trying to get my associates degree of course and then transfer into a 4 year university. Can anyone tell me what might be a helpful major to get my associates degree in before I transfer. I didn't know if maybe health care management could help, medical assisting, etc. Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question...I'm kind of starting over and any advice would be great. Thanks so much in advance.

Is your goal to enter a Physician Assistant (PA) school after getting a bachelors degree (in which case you're asking in the wrong forum) or to become competitive for medical school?

Yes, I'm asking about entering a PA school after getting a bachelors degree. Sorry I'm a little new to this, which forum should I be in?

SDN does have a physician extender forum further down on the list, but I've been told it isn't that comprehensive. You might do best to look for a site dedicated to PA information elsewhere.
