Should I be a physician assistant or elementary school teacher?

I'm having a hard time picking which one I should be. I'm stuck between being a physician assistant or an elementary school teacher. I absolutely love little kids and I'll be so happy doing that in life but at the same time teachers are so underpaid. This year I took a lot of high school science related classes since I was thinking about being a physician assistant so maybe it makes sense to just continue with it but I'm not sure. I can't really handle blood either but my school offers so many science classes and less education centered classes.

Hi, hi. I can see why it can be so hard to decide what career path you want to pursue. I would say you should also first get experience in both fields, such as working in school-setting programs such as an after-school program, to see how much you like working with kids. When picking a major for college you can also have a minor like for education while still learning to become a physician assistant. In colleges, you can ask for an internship and find stuff in the related field for physical assistance.
