Skip PA school
If you are only a couple weeks in, I would go with the dream job. Happiness with your job is worth it!
There are many ways to work in or around healthcare and earn a comfortable salary. Everyone seems to disregard the stress, time commitment, and debt that come with PA school when they talk about what a wonderful career is. Plus, the burnout doesn’t disappear after school. It’s hard leaving a career once you’ve invested so much time and money toward it. I wish I would have explored other options, and am finally doing so after 6 years in practice.
Update! I didn’t get the job and am still in PA school
Skip PA school now so they can replace your spot for someone who doesn’t have the dream job with a great salary.
You should probably figure out if you actually want to be a PA. The work load of school / clinicals is not worth it if you’re not truly invested in the profession. And if not, then you took the spot in a program that someone else who actually wants to be a PA should have had.
I’m curious- what was your choice!?
