Carmen,
I feel like only you can answer that question, but I'm a PA so feel free to ask any specific questions about becoming and working as a PA. Also, this link on the American Academy of PAs website could help answer some questions you might have:

Isabel’s Answer
1.Do a career test, one I liked is this one: https://www.careerexplorer.com/
2. Analyze the pros and cons, what are good things and bad things about becoming each!
3. Think about the day-to-day, for example, for me the idea of being a chef sounds good in my mind, but thinking of the day to day tasks don't sound good to me, so I'll discard it.
4. Give yourself time to experiment with what is required for both, or the career itself. Put yourself through situations related to it, and determine if you like one better
5. Think about it honestly Sometimes, we get swayed by somone's opinion/a salary/ etc, and that's not ideal, sit with yourself, maybe 10 minutes a day, and a journal, and write how you *honestly* feel about each job,
I hope this helps<3
