Happens all the time
To the PA student who wants to be a physician. Are you sure you want to amplify bureaucratic hazing by enrolling in medical school?
Medical students and residents endure the stress of bureaucracies that you had to endure but these med students and residents endure it almost daily. Med students are often met with being hazed during rotations, being the yes man during residency, and having the risk of probation, remediation, and being denied certain requirements and privileges althroughout the process. If you practice medicine as a PA and make good money, why take on the infamous trade union known as the AMA and go down the venture of being a physician. With the number of barriers to becoming a doctor, it'd make sense to not go down this path. You'd be surprised that in 2022 the gargantuan amount of outstanding med-school candidates gets rejected due to the unrealistic and useless requirements to get into medical school, thanks to the AMA and AAMC artificially controlling the number of doctors we can have in the field.
You have to also be realistic time wise with med school. You have to want to know you want to do this career by late teens to early 20s any later it will not be worth the ROI, generally speaking.
Unless you land in a competitive speciality that pays well, you’ll be paying loans for a while, I knew a doc where it took him 10 years to pay off his loans and he wasn’t even a positive net-worth until about 50.
Not saying you can’t but it’s honestly not worth it, especially once you hit 30+.
This isn’t true. Just as a person who did it myself. Since I already had a military and prior health career I had no debt going into medical school as well as prior investments, assets, and adventure traveling while in my fittest and youngest time, so that I could already have growing finances and a lot of fun worked out of my system so that I could focus. I started in my early 30s and I highly recommend the route I went.
