[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a DD who is more than smart to become a Dr. but will she put in the work? That is an issue. Everything comes so easy to her, and now when it is time to sit down and really study, for you have to study in high school and even if you are as smart as anything, unless you open the book.. Still has great grades, but that won't continue with taking so many AP and Honors classes, she has to really warm the chair, so to say. But, what is driving me crazy is FIL who is constantly telling her that she should be a PA and to stop thinking about being a medical Dr. First, it is none of his business, and second, why not aim higher and then, if it doesn't work out, there will be other options.[/quote] PA is a wise choice for a woman who wants work/life balance in the medical field. Of course, then mom and dad have to say DD is a PA, can't tell all their friends she is an MD. MD and PA both wage slaves for Kaiser anyway.[/quote]
