Being a PA is a decent paying, stable position. I do enjoy it, I am currently doing internal medicine 4 days a week making $70,000 per year. I am home at 6 pm every night and i start the day at 9 am. Not bad. I always wanted to be a pilot. I know that I will drop down to $22000 for the first year as a pilot and then up form there, and the career is not as stable but I am a firm believer that you live once and you need to follow your dreams as long as you do it wisely. With aviation, you need a back up plan this day and age. Right now you have a sports med degree so you can get a job in that field although i am not too educated on that profession. Go for the PA degree and then start flying afterwards, and if you really want to be a pilot, do it, but keep current on medicine for a back up. I am setting myself finincially now so i can persue the dream. REMEMBER YOU LIVE ONCE! I see sick people every day who do not have the option to live healthy lives and pursue their dreams, it really makes me feel fortunate enough to be able to do it.
