Question : They path of becoming a physician assitant, then a doctor?
I know that this will cost me to stay more in school, but should become a physician assitant first, then go to Med school, or go to a college for Pre-med, then med-school. I’m worried about the admission costs student loan buildup I would have to pay off. Which way would be less detrimental to my parents pockets and my future debt.
any one have any suggestions?

Actually, the best situation that you could be in would be to go to college for pre-med and then med-school. I know what it is like to want to go to school without placing the burden on your parents. My parents did not pay for any of my schooling. Here is how you can fund school with minimal help from your parents. It begins with submitting a FAFSA. That will get you some money in the form of grants for college. Then, after FAFSA, talking to your school guidance counselor about scholarships. This is one of your guidance counselors expertise and they would be willing to help you find scholarships. Usually high schools have a scholarship awards ceremony for seniors at the end of the school year. You counselor will give you a heads up on which ones you qualify for. With the remaining balance of what you will need for college, apply for the Federal Perkins Loan Unsubsidized and the Federal Stafford Loan Unsubsidized. Those loans “you” will have make payments to pay off the loan beginning six months after you are done with school. If all works out well, like it did for me, your parents will not have to pay anything for you to go to school. And if they do, it will not be the entire cost of your schooling. I hope I helped.
