A typical PA education last 27 months and data shows that the average cost of a public school right now is about $50,000 for the course. And it's about $89,000 for out of state on average $92,000 if you go to a private school at in $20,000 a year or so for living expenses. But we're putting most people now between $100-$150,000 in student loans if they're borrowing the entire cost. Do you think that's a good investment? I would say that's probably pretty accurate. Most people we've talked to that's probably about what student loan burden now does not include if you have any undergraduate student loan burden
Today we are interviewing PAs, Beth Macintire and Katie Bean. We know that most of our audience are physicians and dentists, but there is a healthy segment of you out there that are other medical professionals, such as PAs, as well as nonmedical professionals. This group is still a six-figure income, but maybe not the higher incomes that many doctors have. A lot of the information in this discussion applies not just to PAs, but to many of those other kinds of professionals as well. Today we are going to talk about the challenges of PA School, the cost of school, how to handle debt, what kind of job opportunities are out there for PAs at what salaries as well as what doing a fellowship or residency can do for you. We discuss if PAs can FIRE and if the cost of education is worth the investment. This interview will have something for everyone.
