Yes and no. I think many people who are considering whether to apply to PA school or MD/DO school, obviously, are interested in health care in general. If one is in that situation, it's a perfectly valid debate to have with yourself. Do you want shorter education/training, the ability to treat patients, and are content not to be the boss? Then the PA route is probably better. Or will you not rest until you are the boss, the one with whom the buck stops, the ultimate expert who takes responsibility for the patient's care when others' abilities have been exhausted? Then you'll want to become a physician.
I, on the other hand, never considered PA because I didn't get into medicine out of any particular interest in health care per se, or the human body, or helping people, or any of that jazz, but instead out of a desire to have people look up to, admire, and respect me, and to make a lot of money without having to have business acumen (i.e., I could have climbed the corporate ladder instead but didn't feel I had it in me to do that.) And if THAT'S the situation one is in, the solution is not to go to PA OR MD school, but to get over it and learn how to successfully deal with life.
