Hey Morning! I would worry if the population of the earth would remain constant, if the baby boomers would stop aging and take thier vitamins, ...and if the diabetes / obesity epidemic will be cured by "Wii Fit". On top of all listed above (that isn't going to happen) we are still facing a shortage in providers. In my state there are less than 2 Physicians per 100 people. Not to mention the MD/DO private practices that are turning down medicare / medicaid recipients. Maybe there are certain areas that will be saturated, like Florida... but on a whole you will be able to practice somewhere. If you are just dead set on getting that Florida tan... then buy a timeshare and a tanning bed using the bonus you get from practicing in an underserved area. There are places in my state where there is no medical providers at all, and they would welcome any one who would practice there. If you think the PA profession is on shaky ground and may take a financial dive, then maybe it is not for you. The original PA's that fought for our salary rights made around 16,000 a year back in the 70's... if you think after 40+ years of steady gain that it will just dwindle to EMT salary because there are "too many programs" then so be it... all the people following the dollars will leave and the market will correct itself. I will still be practicing whether I make 60 and hour or 20 an hour.
