Is being a PA worth it or rewarding as someone that has wanted to be a doctor but doesn't want that commitment?
I've wanted to be a doctor since I was 5 but now I'm not so sure. I know it's a lot of work and I don't really want to be in school that long, plus once in that field I know it's not a lot of flexibility (looking at being a surgeon or pediatrician as of right now). However, I still have a strong interest in medicine and have a desire to help people through that. I also still have plans of traveling, starting a family, etc. in the future. I've been thinking about being a PA as opposed to going to med school but I'm not sure and I don't know if I should pursue pre-med or pre-pa in college.

I'm pursuing a career in ultrasound, but I'm undecided on which specialty to choose (like OB/GYN, cardiac, or vascular). What's the best way to figure out which ultrasound specialty is the right fit for me #Spring25?
I'm currently a college student pursuing a career in diagnostic medical sonography. I'm really interested in the heart and how it works, so cardiac ultrasound stands out to me.
