With all the new laws, I am concerned about how to become a Physician Assistant while I cannot take it out in loans. Are there any physician assistants out there with any advice to get through school with little to no loans?

What is the best part of being a PA? Will all of my hard work translate into a job that I love going to every day? I wonder how successful I would be as a PA?

I am a senior in high school. I attend a program through my school that allows me to do clinical rotations. I am interested in pediatric care, but I don't necessarily like aspects of nursing. I wonder if I should be a biology major or a nursing major, though.
