The numbers are not scientific in any way but why argue with the results? :)

 

I have a feeling this thread will be full of posts regarding the inflated salary but, hey, congrats to us!

There are only 95K PAs certified in the U.S., and this article is saying there are 45K job openings for us?  Whereas there are 205K licensed NPs, but only 15K job openings for them?!?  Something's rotten in Denmark - and that's before I even get to the salary #'s...
