I heard that in rural areas there is high demand, but if I wanted to live in more of a mainstream/bigger city, would I not be able to get a job for a long time? I heard there are also so many more PA programs now that are contributing to the oversaturation. Especially in the later 2030s or 2040s I feel like it might be hard to get a job and that I would regret not choosing another career path.
