I would say if you don't use your degree. Pretty bad investment. There are a lot of these hidden costs that you would never think of but if you have to pay for background check twice and a couple drug tests for different hospitals, it can get pretty expensive when you're talking about living on student loans.

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.
