I told myself a long time ago (back when I was a freshman) that being a doctor wasn't for me. Regardless, I graduated finished up Pre-Med and decided that I would go PA-C because it would be less of a headache. In the end, I don't want to pursue this anymore. I don't want to be the assistant when I feel like I could do so much more. I looked into Dentistry, but honestly I feel like I would be so bored…especially spending my whole life doing that. PA was very appealing because you could change specialities (without residency), but being midlevel is honestly not something I wanna be. I want to be the expert but I don't know if I have the inellectual capacity to fulfill that role (even though I want to be). I've been out of school since december 2013 and I have been working as a tech in the ER and cardiac since then. I want to be a Doctor and I definitely know this now after gaining more experience. Anyone in the same shoes can give some advice?
