SoCal_PA Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Just curious to see how this forum stacks up to the data floating around. Please only vote if you are currently working as a PA-C. BLS.gov is currently showing $90,930 as the national average and AAPA reported ~$95,000 (could be wrong on that one) Yes, I know this is the internet but please vote truthfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Febrifuge Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'm actually not salaried, but hourly. I just multiplied my hourly x 2080 hours, which is 40 x 52. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sehou2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Just curious, is it common for PAs to have multiple jobs? How much free time will be left if PAs have one full time and a part time job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassPA-C Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I think it depends on your job. I work 4 - 10's for my regular job and between 2-3 per diem shifts per month. I don't have kids (yet) and my husband works 80+ hrs per week so I am home much more than he is- we decided to spend a year or two out of school working as much as we felt able to pay off bills and loans. We still live in a very expensive city so those extra shifts allow me to pay off loans a little faster/save for a down payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocialMedicine Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 PA jobs, esp in hospital, can often be on schedule. Meaning 40 hours a week. As opposed to a guy in corporate world easily working 50+ hours in a typical work week. Again, not all PAs have this schedule but I think for many it is a pretty organized sign out. As a result one could easily work a bit extra and it not necessarily be a burden. I would also say more PAs hopefully move into academics, precepting, admin and hopefully that comes with extra salary opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbingle Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Makes me worry when I see people motivated by money. This is patient care. You have to want to do that to be good. Money will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatswain2PA Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Oh cut him a break. Money is always a motivator, although certainly shouldn't be the singular, or even primary one. I certainly wouldn't do this job for $75000 a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbingle Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Kind of a strong reactions Boatswain. Let you be cared for by someone with money as their primary motivator. You will note the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
