As always, the truth is closest when you mix statistics with on-the-ground experience.
Good luck on your PA major, the country could use a whole lot of qualified PAs.

Yeah, my professor for the class actually headed up one of the departments at the Bureau of Labor Statistics in D.C., so he had a ton of stuff for us.
I think the best thing I'm getting out of all my classes is that anything you want to know can probably be found on a government website somewhere
. They keep records and statistics on freaking EVERYTHING. It's nutty.
Thanks for the well-wishes on PA, but I'm unfortunately not going to stay in that major. I'm doing undergrad for PA and then going to get my MBA. The public sector just isn't competitive enough with wages (although the job security is top-notch). I'll definitely have to start out in the public sector somewhere, though.
