My Dad has a PA, I have know him my whole life, my dad and him are best friends. I know he makes good money being a PA. Like 90,000 a year. But he has worked with my dad for 20 years and they do neuro surgery. I guess it varies from pa to pa..

Well Phil wish you luck if your gona get into the field. A couple of years ago I was accepted into the PA school through the military but they wanted a 10 yr enlistment committment and that was about the time Clinton screwd up the pay and all. Clinton made it so no longer could you retire with a 20 year letter had to be 65 to start collectig, no double dipping like no bonus and school money so I told them never mind and ets. Since Bush has put everything back for the military thank god.

But I can tell you to get into school even if you make a high test score you will be limited by the amount of minorities who apply they will get in with a 70 even if you make a 90 so to say. My friend was finally able to get in by using her mothers maiden name after a couple of tries due to the above it worked good luck. I went back to school and now have a Bachelors degree. MM
