I'm not trying to justify or bend anything. I present my argument with statistics and actual evidence. You just stated your opinion that PA is settling. That's no difference than someone saying that pursuing MD/DO is throwing your life away. It's all subjective. If you actually read my post I never once said MD/DO school is easier than PA school or that MD/DOs arent more knowledgeable. However, how difficult it is to get into PA vs DO school is up for debate I feel. You're right, not everybody wants to be a physician, not everybody wants to go through the sacrifices. Just because you do doesnt make you better a better or worse person.
I'd like to say, I agree with you 100% on this. If I thought I could have been happy as a PA, I totally would have. It's an awesome career and more power to you. At the end of the day, I knew I wouldn't want to keep running to the SP to ask questions I already knew the answers to or take crap from newly minted docs when I'd been practicing when I'd been in it 20+ years. Because of that, I would have been a terrible PA and thus changed my major.
