<p>If you think you would like to be a medical doctor but are turned off by the lengthy training you might consider a career as a Physician Assistant. That requires six years of training (inclusive of college) and can be lower stress than a physician since you should have physician back-up. Lots of room for growth and pay is excellent. As health care evolves in our country to a lower cost model, the demand for mid-level providers will continue to soar.</p>
