No, Im in PA because blood & body parts are gross. Excel > sick people any day of the week

Those jobs are also EXTREMELY difficult and are not nearly as flexible as PA is. Also your job options are somewhat limited based on where you live, in PA we can switch to hundreds of firms with medical there are not hundreds of hospitals within you commute area and that limits your options.

I know a few that became RNs and they are much happier because they make more than they did and they are helping save lives or at least helping people get better so they are much more fulfilled.

Someone from my friends audit team quit big 4 to go to nursing school this summer.

I did the opposite and switched from a med school path into accounting. Longer hours than PA, lawsuits, and the potential for accidentally killing someone made me switch. No regrets.

I almost went to med school after a couple years in PA. Pretty glad I didn't now. Life is getting better now and my doctor friends are pretty burnt out
